Task 1 abc LIT1 061415
Situation A:
Employee A has been with company X for two years. Employee A’s spouse gave birth prematurely to twins. He requested leave to be with his spouse, which was granted. Employee A has been on leave for the 11 weeks, and has asked to return to work, and to be paid the withheld salary from his 11 week leave. The previous department manager left the company during employee A’s leave. The new manager has agreed to employee A’s return to the previous job, at the previous rate pay. But the manager has denied the request for the 11 weeks of withheld salary.
Situation C.
Applicant C requires the use of a wheelchair to move about due to paralysis of both legs. The position Applicant C applied for requires movement about the entire company offices, including using the elevator to access any of the seven floors in the headquarters building. In order for Applicant C to make use of the elevators, the key pads in two of the four elevator cars would have to be lowered four inches to be accessible. The work would take 1 day per elevator and cost $1,000 per elevator. Applicant C was denied employment, and was told the denial was because his/her employment would cause undue hardship on Company X.

1. Identify three major provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
2. Evaluate how the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 applies to situation C.
