Washington Law Against Discrimination: Your Rights at Work

The Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD) makes it illegal for employers to treat workers unfairly because of religion or disability. Employers must provide reasonable accommodations—such as schedule adjustments, time off for religious observances, or modifications to job duties—so long as those accommodations do not create an undue hardship. Under Washington law, an undue hardship must be a substantial burden, not just a small inconvenience or minor cost.

When employers deny accommodations or retaliate against employees who ask for them, they risk serious legal liability. If you’ve been refused time off for religious practices, denied disability accommodations, or punished for asserting your rights, you may have a valid claim.
