Mr. Robertson just published a new video on YouTube that explains how to properly request a reasonable accommodation at work. Branigan made this video because it is critically important that people make this request in the correct way. Mr. Robertson has seen hundreds of cases where employees do this incorrectly and that ultimately hurts their case.

In this post, Mr. Robertson discusses the common ways HR refuses to reasonably accommodate disabled employees. This is the 3rd part in a five-part video series. At its most basic level, the law requires employers to reasonably accommodate a worker with a physical or mental impairment so long as the worker can perform the essential functions of the job. If they don’t, it might be a form of disability discrimination and the worker can enforce his or her rights in court.

This post is about unlawful layoffs. If you were laid off, how do you know if the termination was legal or not? In this video, Branigan Robertson, an employment lawyer in California, explains when a layoff is illegal.

At a basic level, a layoff is unlawful if you were fired because of one of two reasons:

1. You engaged in a protected activity, or
2. You are a member of a protected class.

The video explains exactly what these mean and goes deep into how you and your lawyer can prove it. Branigan also covers the WARN Act, severance packages, and how much unlawful layoff cases can be worth.
