Document Summary

If anna filed a law suit, she would be responsible for proving that she was a qualified employee with disability: the critical terms that applies to this situation are disability , reasonable accommodation , and undue hardship . In this particular case, seeing that anna has a disability (multiple sclerosis), dave is concerned regarding the costs of her accommodations without any knowledge of or interest of learning what these costs are going to be. Dave can prove that accommodations to anna"s disabilities impose an undue hardship on the bank, he may not have to hire her: no, dave cannot consider the potential of anna"s disability getting worse in making the hiring decision. These are potential problems and not the current issues. Hence, it should not be taken into account when dave is deciding whether or not he should hire anna.
