Question

Is the person a qualified individual with a disability?

Todd broke his leg when he fell down the stairs at work.  He can’t work at all for four weeks, then after that he can return to work, but he will not be able to take the stairs again for three or four more months and someone will have to drive him to court. 

Penny has been a guest room attendant for 25 years.  About 3 years ago, she started having low back pain, but she kept working.  Now her doctor says she can’t lift more than 5 pounds or bend over frequently any more due to her chronic back condition, so she can’t be a guest room attendant any more. 

Garlen is applying for a job as front desk agent.  He has three years experience in the same job at another hotel.  Because of an old back injury from falling off a balcony, Garlen is unable to stand for more than ten minutes at a time.  He can do the job, but he will need a chair or stool to use while he’s working. It was no problem at his last job.

Ginga is a night auditor who works alone in the hotel office.  She has a severe hearing impairment that requires her to wear hearing aids in both ears all the time.  When she is wearing them, she can hear just fine, but without them, she hears almost nothing at all.

Bennie is applying for a job as a food server.  He has no prior experience, but the job advertisement did not say experience was required.  He’s physically able to do the job, but due to post-traumatic stress disorder, he needs to take frequent breaks of about 10 minutes when he becomes anxious or stressed.
