Can a person be denied employment based on a disability?

these cases are fact driven. for example, if the disability prevents the employee from doing the job, then there is no discrimination. if a person cannot do the required 165 pound carry for a fireman because of disability, then there is no obligation to give or keep this person as a fireman. the key is the job requirements and a doctor's report in writing that the person can do  the physical requirements of the job. they must be connected. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600
