Report Link Connecticut Employers Must Make Reasonable Accommodations for Employees with Disabilities.
Jackson Lewis LLP - April 28, 2008
In a case of first impression, the Connecticut Supreme Court has held that Connecticut employers must make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, even though the Connecticut Human Rights and Opportunities Act does not explicitly impose such a duty. Curry v. Allan S. Goodman, Inc., No. SC 18025 (Conn. Apr. 15, 2008). The Court further ruled that, as under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, employers must engage in an “interactive process” with employees with disabilities to identify potential reasonable accommodations. The federal ADA applies to employers with 15 or more employees and the CHRO Act applies to employers with at least three employees. Thus, this ruling has the effect of newly placing reasonable accommodations and interactive process requirements on Connecticut employers with three to 14 employees.
