Re: all fmla exhausted- cancer patient

To be deemed a qualified handicap individual under the ADA,

you must be able to perform the essential functions of your

job with a reasonable accommodation.

Can you perform the essential functions of your job?

If not, did you request a reasonable accommodation?

Did your doctor write to the company describing

what you were physically capable of doing and the

length of time your activities were to be limited?

Is there a job within the company which you could perform with ot without a reasonable accommodation?
