Did my employer violate the ADA?

Post Reply New Topic

From what I've tried to research of it on my own, I remember reading that it IS allowed for a relative to make the request on my behalf.

I didn't intend for her to do so, and she did such against my request, but I was intending to wait until I saw the store manager again, since he was the only person who behaved honestly with me, but apparently he was on vacation at the time.

Of course! Yet, while it may be legal, a relative's request is not necessarily binding -- there is no legal reason for an employer to honor the request, especially if it is not backed up with documentation. Again, if you did not present your employer with an official document stating that you have a disability that requires special consideration, you may be out of luck

Timing is everything, as the saying goes; and your time to act may have already gone by. At this point, only a lawyer can advise you. Please seek out legal counsel, since strangers on a social website are in no position to render a legally binding opinion in this matter -- whatever anyone tells you here will carry no weight during legal proceedings.

Good luck!
