As a Manager for the Company: What are the Company’s legal obligations under the law?  You are a Manager in a Fortune 500 Company with more than 15 employees.  A new employee… “Jim,” is starting work in your department.  Jim has Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects motor and sensory functions of the human body causing loss of vision, loss of muscle control and other serious problems with the central nervous system.  While Jim’s symptoms are intermittent, there is a strong likelihood that they will worsen over time.  Accordingly, although Jim can perform the essential functions of the job, he requires disability accommodations to address the MS condition.
