Employers in North Carolina do not have to accomodate their employees medical restrictions unless the employee is covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act and the accomodation is reasonable (in the legal sense). You may want to contact the EEOC to file a charge or an employment attorney to discuss your situation in depth.
