the key issue is the job description and whether you can perform the tasks required. the law school example is a fireman. he/she must be able to carry 165 pounds down a 20 foot ladder. if he/she cannot, then the employee cannot perform the tasks required. the employer is under no obligation to provide 'reasonable accomodation' so that he/she drives the truck. what was your job description ? what tasks were required ? could you perform these tasks ? ed dimon, esq.
