  • holding that \an employer's perception that health problems are adversely affecting an employee's job performance is not tantamount to regarding that employee as disabled\

  • “[F]or an employer’s request for an exam to be upheld, there must be significant evidence that could cause a reasonable person to inquire as to whether an employee is still capable of performing his job.”
