How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that employer had obligation to accommodate employee’s inability to get to work on time or at all due to obsessive compulsive disorder
• concluding that physical attendance is not an essential job function for a medical transcriptionist, especially when other medical transcriptionists for the employer already worked from home
• concluding that plaintiff sufficiently demonstrated a breakdown in the interactive process, and, thus the employer failed to provide a reasonable accommodation
• holding that an employee need not show that the proposed medical leave is “certain or even likely to be successful.”
• recognizing that “conduct resulting from a disability is considered to be part of the disability, rather than a separate basis for” an adverse employment action, and giving, as an example, “excessive absenteeism caused by migraine-related absences”
• clarifying that an employer is not required to provide an accommodation that would impose undue hardship on the employer
