Americans With Disabilities Act



The Americans with Disabilities Act recognizes that people who have medical problems because they cannot walk, see, hear, or engage in other "major life activities" as well as the average person, are entitled to "reasonable accommodations" at work, unless the change poses an "undue hardship" on the employer. The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act is a wide-ranging civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability. The Americans with Disabilities Act history begins on July 26, 1990 when the disability act was signed into law.

I quit my job since I did not trust the company because of the way they treated me over the years I
my unemployment benefits where denied for leaving job. How can I win my appeal.
What legal matters can I take against my job if I feel like my raise was based on personal feelings.
I am an overnight employee for a Department store... I been with the company since 10/2011. In 3/2012 I received a 2% increase in my pay and was told that it was based only from 10/2012 until 12/31/2012. After that period I became a top performer, I was invited to a Top Performer dinner twice, I was being developed to become a Team Lead for several months, employee of the month for the month of June 2012. I went above and beyond for the job. A Team lead who I feel has personal issues with me was allowed to do the assessment for my pay increase and gave me a 1.5% increase and said that my attendance had a lot to do with it. I am someone who has no write ups or anything on my file about my attendance or my work performance. I receive a verbal warning in 10/2012 for my attendance and that is all. There are employees that have been on their final notice for their attendance and they received 3% or higher.
put my 2 weeks notice in on May 6, 2012
I was put out of work by my Dr on the May 15 due to illness that was very contagious, I took the manager my Doctors note. The company put my last day of employment May 14, 2013 even though I had 9 days of vacation, 1 personal day and 5 sick days left. I have worked with company for 15 years. I do not find this very ethical. Is there anything that I can do.
