the employer has no obligation to keep the job open for the employee if the employee cannot do the job. for example, if the fireman can no longer carry a 165 pound person down the fire ladder [a job requirement], the fire company does not need to keep him/her on the force and allow them to be a dispatcher. ed dimon, esq.
