01
Legal Advice & Counseling
When requesting an accommodation, you may have questions about the interactive process and what kinds of accommodations your employer is obligated to consider. When requesting leavel, you may want to know whether your job will be protected while out on leave, whether you can receive wages or other compensation during leave, and whether your health benefits will continue while out on leave. I can educate you about your legal rights and options and help demystify this process.
02
Legal Action
Your manager may be interfering with or retaliating against you for exercising your rights to accommodation or leave. If so, swift, decisive legal action may be required. You may need to submit a complaint to the California Civil Rights Department or a charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for investigation. Or you may need to file a lawsuit against your employer. While the process can be intimidating, I can help reduce overwhelm and guide you through it, all while protecting your best interests.

B.B. GOT WHAT HE NEEDED FOR HIS FAMILY
"With Monali’s guidance, I successfully advocated for a workplace accommodation that significantly benefits my family."
"Navigating life and meeting expectations as a parent during the COVID era presented unparalleled challenges, especially within the workplace. Collaborating with Monali empowered me to affirm my stance in facing an employer who was less than supportive under trying circumstances. With Monali’s guidance, I successfully advocated for a workplace accommodation that significantly benefits my family, reinforcing my belief in the value of standing firm in one’s convictions."
S.B. RECEIVED MORE TIME WITH HER BABY
"She helped me advocate for additional leave that I was eligible for but that I otherwise would not have accessed."
"I started working with Monali during a high-risk pregnancy about a month before I had my child, while working for a large, multibillion dollar corporation in a leadership position. Monali helped me navigate the intricacies of California and federal law to ensure I was receiving the leave I was legally entitled to, as my employer did not provide clarity. I will forever be grateful for Monali's expert advice. She was a joy to work with: kind, reassuring, and knowledgeable. I would work with her again in a heartbeat."
