Question

Matt, a blind man in his early twenties, was recently hired as a DJ at a local radio station in Orlando. He was given permission by his manager to bring his guide dog to work. In this instance, Matt's employer makes an:________.
A. reverse discrimination.
B. undue hardship.
C. reasonable accommodation.
D. disparate treatment.
E. disparate impact.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": reasonable accommodation.

Explanation:

Reasonable accommodations refer to all those changes made to a workplace to allow individuals with impairments to have equal conditions at work so their performance will not be influenced by their disability. Building ramps for easy access of people using wheelchairs is an example of reasonable accommodation at work. Accommodations are detailed in-depth in Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990.  

Thus, allowing Matt to go to work with his guide work since Matt is blind, is an example of reasonable accommodation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (C) Reasonable Accommodation

Explanation:

A reasonable accommodation is assistance or changes to a position or workplace that will enable an employee to do his or her job despite having a disability. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified employees with disabilities, unless doing so would pose an undue hardship.
