Report Link Second Circuit Says Employer Has A Duty To Reasonably Accommodate Employee With An Obvious Disability, Even Without A Request To Do So.Ogletree Deakins - July 16, 2008 The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that employers engage in an “interactive process” and to work together with disabled employees to determine whether an employee’s disability can be reasonably accommodated. Recently, the 2d U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals held that Wal-Mart failed to engage in this process when it did not initiate the issue of accommodation with an employee whom it perceived to be disabled. Brady v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc, et al, 2d Circ., No. 06-5486-cv, July 2, 2008. Report Link A Practical Approach to Reasonable Accomodation.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - February 23, 2006 Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and many similar state statutes, employers are required to provide disabled employees and applicants with reasonable accommodations as part of the duty to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability. The theory behind this duty is to "level the playing field" for individuals with disabilities, so that they have an equal chance to succeed in employment and enjoy the same privileges and benefits of employment as the non-disabled.
