Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania

Re: congestive heart failure

You asked about accommodation at work regarding a medical condition.

There are a number of factors involved and this situation would need a careful evaluation by an attorney. The Americans with Disabilities Act along with other state and Federal laws has been interpreted broadly to require employers to accommodate the disability(s) of a disabled employee where that the employer is covered by the respective law, the employee is otherwise qualified for the position, can perform the the essential tasks of the position with or without accommodation. Each one of those "prongs" has a test. A disabled person is defined under the ADA and various other laws and precedents (case law).

It is a complicated area of law and is not easily covered here. To answer your question, it depends.

Get in touch with an attorney immediately to arrange an evaluation of your specific circumstances. I would be hapy to meet with you to discuss this.
