Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The employer's actions of allowing Rebecca to take breaks to eat, take her medication, and test her blood-sugar levels are considered reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is because the ADA requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, which can include modifications to the work environment, job duties, or work schedule, as long as it doesn't create an undue hardship for the employer. In this case, allowing Rebecca to take breaks to manage her diabetes is a reasonable accommodation that allows her to perform the essential functions of her job. It's not illegal discrimination, compensatory damages, or a bona fide occupational qualification.
