Human Resource Case Study
1. You are the supervisor of a man who is incredibly lazy,
and often tries to get out of hard work. Today, he informed you that he hurt
his back lifting some files into his file cabinet. He tells you that she will
be able to continue to do most aspects of his job, but will need some minor
modifications, i.e. a comfortable chair with a back, and a footstool. What is
one of the first things you should do? Do you have to make the accommodations
he requested? Will his previous performance have any influence on your
decision?
2. Suppose that you have made the accommodations described
in question 1. The gentleman says he is having difficulty with his back, and is
out 2 out of 5 days every week. What can you legally do?
