Legal Answers
4 Questions Answered
- Q. Can an employer stop you from getting your inhaler from a different if it would leave your building unattended? (Alaska)
- A: It sounds like you have asthma. You should ask your HR department for a form to request a reasonable accommodation. You most likely will need your doctor to submit medical documentation explaining your medical condition/disability and your need to obtain your inhaler or acute medical treatment to prevent you from or when you have an asthma attack. You should be granted a reasonable accommodation which is required under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Should your employer not grant you this accommodation, feel free to reach out to me.
- Q. Have cases to rescind a Separation Agreement been won in Alaska, and how would I request public information to review?
- A: If you are over 40 you have 7 days to revoke the separation agreement per the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act.
You can contact me directly to set up a consultation- however, I do charge $300 for an up to an hour phone consult.
- Q. Located in Alaska-I work at a union Safeway location. I am 8 months pregnant. I have accommodations in place for a stool
- A: I would speak to your union if your company is violating the CBA by violating seniority rights. You may also want to contact the Anchorage Equal Rights Commission and/or the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights or EEOC and file a claim for discrimination based on pregnancy or sex. You can also contact an employment discrimination lawyer such as myself. It is illegal to discriminate against someone on the basis of sex or because they are pregnant under Alaska State and Federal law and in some cities such as Anchorage under local law.
