Tammi has worked as a sales clerk at a large department store for the past 5 years. Unfortunately, her health is not very good, and she suffers from a chronic kidney disease.
At first, the disease does not affect her ability to go to work. But over time, the disease continues to worsen and she requires dialysis treatments. She is only able to receive these treatments on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 9:00am - 11:00am.
However, she is scheduled to work during those hours. Her normal work schedule is Monday through Friday, from 9:00am - 5:00pm. At this point, what is her employer required to do for her?
Make sure to fully explain the law that applies and how it should be applied in this situation.
Give practical suggestions regarding what the employer should do. Over time, Tammi's disease gets progressively worse. It gets to the point where she is too ill to come to work. At this point, what must her employer do for her?
Explain the steps that the employer must go through in this situation to determine what law potentially applies, whether it actually applies in this case.
Explain what responsibilities/requirements the employer owes to Tammi.
After a few months of not being able to work, Tammi is finally starting to get better and is able to start working again. Now, at this point, what is her employer required to do?
Again, make sure to explain what the law is that applies and how it should be applied in this situation.
