Under FEHA, an employer may NOT retaliate against an employee simply for:
a.Refusing to perform any assigned work
b.Damaging company equipment
c.Requesting a reasonable accommodation for a disability or religious belief
d.Repeatedly arriving late
Explanation
FEHA expressly protects the act of requesting a reasonable accommodation for a disability or religious belief, even if the accommodation is ultimately denied. Retaliating against an employee merely for making such a request is an independent FEHA violation.
