Q: Can an employer go against an ada accommodation?
I live in ky and have a mental disability, i work for a call center and answering calls became too much. My dr filled out paperwork for offline work, it took them awhile but i was transferred to data entry where i was suppose to make outbound calls but i didnt bc it went against my restrictions. Please note a coworker who has a physical disability transferred at the same time for the same reason bc she cant hear well. They sent her to a dept where its no outbound or inbound calls.
I got an email saying i was being sent to take calls bc my performance which suprized me bc i asked my boss weekly how i was doing and she would said great. I was doing better than half the team yet i was the only one transferred to calls. I was on data entry for 9 months.
I feel like im being discriminated against bc its a mental disability and not physical.
Can they go against my accommodation? I thought i was protected by the Americans with disabilities act.
A: As long as you can do the work set forth in the accommodation, they must follow the ADA.
