What is a disability under FEHA?
Under FEHA, however, a disability need only make the performance of a life activity more difficult. Further, mitigating measures may not be taken into account in determining whether an employee is disabled. Like the EEOC, FEHA’s administering agency has concluded that the non-chronic illness of short duration is exempt from the FEHA requirements. FEHA prohibits discrimination against any person with a record of a disability or who is regarded as disabled.
