The Problem Employee: Discipline or Accommodation? (pdf).
Vedder Price • January 28, 2005
Two recent cases illustrate how dealing with an employee
who interacts negatively with coworkers can lead to
litigation. In one case, a belligerent supervisor claimed
that a campaign of racial harassment had created a hostile
work environment and led to his constructive discharge.
In the other, a discharged employee sued her employer
for back pay and punitive damages under the Americans
With Disabilities Act because her troublesome behavior
was caused by a bipolar disorder.
