$142,500 ADA settlement
December 14, 2009 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
$142,500 settles EEOC's claim that a hospital discriminated against an employee on the basis of her disability, Type I "brittle" diabetes, after she experienced a diabetic coma for which she was treated there.
Specifically, the EEOC charged that the hospital failed to grant the employee a reasonable accommodation to permit her to modify her part-time work schedule as an employee health nurse so that she would work three days in a row rather than alternate work days.
The EEOC charged that the hospital endangered the employee’s physical health and effectively terminated her employment by refusing to accommodate her request to work the modified part-time schedule.
