Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glenda's brain injury may affect her ability to perform the duties of her previous job as an auditor. The employer has a legal responsibility to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, but if Glenda's injury prevents her from performing essential job functions even with accommodations, the employer may offer her a transfer to a different job that she is capable of performing. This may result in a lower salary if the new job pays less than the auditor position.
