Legal Question in Employment Law in Illinois

Certain medical conditions are considered "disabilities" under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under the ADA, a disabled employee is entitled to a reaosnable accommodation, whether the employee is full or part time. A rasonable accommodation includes but is not limited to: a reduced work schedule, a modified work schedule, unpaid time off, reassignment, etc. Suspending a disabled employee who takkes time off (calls in sick) because of their disability could be a violation of the ADA. We routinely represent employees in these types of matters. Please call us for a complimentary case evaluation.
