A: In Greece, as in many other countries, employers have an obligation to provide a safe and healthy working environment for their employees. If you have a work-related leg injury, the law usually requires reasonable accommodations to be made for you. Not allowing you to use the elevator to go to the bathroom, especially when you have a leg injury, could potentially be considered a failure to provide reasonable accommodations or even discriminatory behavior. Your boss changing your shifts last-minute could also be an issue, depending on your employment contract and local labor laws. You may have legal options, such as filing a complaint with the relevant labor authorities or taking legal action.
