Question 9 • *GV 2018 - P.E. Health Science - PE201

Janine is a long-standing employee with ABC Packing, Inc., a large company. She was recently involved in an accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down. Janine will now use a wheelchair when she returns to work. What should her employer do to assist Janine?

Answer
A
Make necessary changes to allow Janine to comfortably return to work.
B
Contact several local businesses with disabled employees to inquire about other job opportunities.
C
Her employer is not required to do anything.

Explanation

The Americans with Disabilities Act generally requires a large employer to provide reasonable accommodations for a qualified employee with a disability, unless doing so would cause undue hardship. The employer should work with Janine to make necessary workplace changes so she can return to work using her wheelchair. Finding her a job at another business is not the employer’s responsibility, and doing nothing would not meet its accommodation duty.
