An employer was justified in terminating an employee who provided insufficient support for her claimed disability and requested remote work as an accommodation under the Rehabilitation Act, according to the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Her employer was also held to be justified in asking for additional support for her claim and request for an accommodation.
A female employee was discharged after seeking to return to work by working full-time from home after the birth of her child, due to what she told her employer were complications from the birth.
