Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Beth will have to show that COC refused to make reasonable accommodation for her disability. In this case, the installation of new doors made it nearly impossible for Beth to perform her job duties. COC may be required to make reasonable accommodations to enable a disabled employee to perform the essential functions of their job. The fact that COC replaced Beth with someone who did not have a disability suggests that they did not make a reasonable effort to accommodate her.
