1. Unfairly Preventing Work Return: Such as denying someone their job back after medical leave.
2. Lack of Support for Work-Related Injuries: Not providing help to an employee who was injured on the job.
3. Unfair Treatment After Workers’ Compensation: Like a case where a police officer faced discrimination after a workers’ comp claim.
4. Disability-Related Job Termination: Firing an employee due to challenges related to their disability.
5. Discrimination Based on Perceived Disability: Instances where an employee ismistreated because of assumptions about their disability.
