Answer: Thank you for contacting our firm. There is a duty to accommodate employees who have a medically verified disability. If your husband has access to short term or long term disability plans, that is also a potential avenue that should be considered. We would need more information on the particular circumstances of your case before advising on the extent of the employer's obligations. If the employer is refusing to work with your husband to resolve this situation, you can contact us at the number below to schedule a consultation.
