McBee v. Team Indus., Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• recognizing that, with one of the essential tasks in question, evidence was presented that the task was only performed sporadically over the course of a year and that assistance was always available to the employee in performing the task
• stating that, “[i]f lifting 50 pounds were truly essential, then [the employee’s] past accommodation would not have been possible”
• stating that a genuine issue of material fact may not be established by “unverified and conclusory allegations” (quotation omitted)
• rejecting an interpretation of statute, in part, because it “would make the word ‘unless’ meaningless, an outcome normally disfavored in statutory interpretation”
• “We hold that the Minnesota Human Rights Act does not mandate that employers engage employees in an interactive process to determine whether reasonable accommodations can be made.”
