there is no law that im aware of that requires you to reveal your disability and or medical conditions to your employer, fireing you on those grounds would be discrimination. However, it is rather hard to prove. If he does terminate you, ask that he give you a written explanation for your dismissal, if he doesnt then write down everything that is said at the meeting in case you want to contest it. however ADA does state that you forfiet all rights to that law if you do not reveal your disability.

I am sorry to hear you are sick. I am sort of in the same situation (sort of). I am very ill.
But I am not writing to tell you about me and my health.
I am going to try to help you with your question.
I have done some research in your question. And mainly it all depends on what state you live in. I have found that in Ohio employers can fire you the same day they hire you or 100 years (Example) later if they don't like the color of your hair, what you wear for the day or if they just are mad at life when they come into work for the day.
Just go into work and sit down and explain you situation. Be yourself and tell the truth. Be strong.
I hope this helps and I pray you get better soon!

Depends on which state you live in. In no way are you required to tell your boss if you have a communicable disease, even HIV. However, if you live in a "right to work" state you can be fired for any reason at any time, except for reasons of race, religion, or sex. Unless you have a contract or something like that.
In a right to work state, a manager can fire an employee for virtually any reason, i.e. doesn't like your hair color. And, you can leave a job whenever you want to. The employer has no legal obligation to give you written warning or anything like that, although most do just to protect themselves in case you say "he/she fired me because of my religion!"

Legally they can't fire you unless you can not do the job required of you. However, employers don't always tell you why you are getting fired or make it so bad on you that you will quit to save them from paying unemployment. Your employer can say you lied on your application for not including the handicap on it. That is something they can fire you on. They same thing happened to me. I didn't think my fibromyalgia would interfer with my work. When it did, I asked to be put on shorter shifts. Was told they could fire me for lying on my application. Since it was only between the superviser and myself, I couldn't take her threat to court. She just would have said that she never said that and that the company would never discriminate against persons with handicaps.

It sounds to me as in the experience that your corporation the two would not have a sexual harassment coverage, or isn't following it. The regulation, frequently, demands employers to take steps to give up sexual harassment interior the place of work. Any corporation who fails to accomplish that is as to blame by using fact the harasser. to answer your question, you need to be fired for submitting a sexual harassment criticism--if after an independent learn it replaced into got here across that criticism replaced into frivilous, vexatious, or malicious. in case you artwork in a union place, you need to not be fired for submitting a valid criticism--till the corporation needed to be ordered to reinstate you with back pay. In a non-union place, you need to not be fired the two--yet whilst the corporation did show you how to pass then your in basic terms recourse could be a wrongful dismissal lawsuit. The medical care interior the litigation could probable be a funds settlement--not getting your interest back. i don't propose to be disrespectful or to accuse you of something, yet i will remark that there are 2 components to each tale. To be harassment, the interest must be unwelcome and unreciprocated. get waiting for nasty allegations against you, and FOLD NOW in the event that they're actual. in the experience that your criticism is valid, and based on the concepts you provide it form of feels it ought to be, for God's sake do not backpedal or withdraw the criticism. that could lend credibility to the visual attraction that your criticism replaced into unfounded. in addition to, harassers hardly purpose in basic terms one guy or woman, and you have a duty on your co-workers an harmless newbies. good luck.

If there was a section on your application form that indicated "do you have any diseases or list any illnesses ... or something like this" and you failed to indicate that you have a liver problem then yes he has the right to fire you. But if this was not asked then no this is not a reason to be fired.

I don't think so. However, because you are in the food industry, there may be stricter regulations as you could spread a disease to customers. So, if they fire you because you are sick, I would consult a civil rights attorney or community support organization.

If you knew before being hired then probably because on most applications there is a line for reasons why you would be unable to complete your job as required.

NO! But not just no, but HELL NO!
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1974 states you cannot discriminate or not hire someone due to a physical ailment or impairment.
That is godspel...go look it up with the Americans with disabilities act!

Your medical information is your own business and you are not legally obligated to inform them that you have this disease.
