EEOC Files Lawsuit Against Lifecare Medical Services

The EEOC has filed suit against Lifecare Medical Services in Cleveland, Ohio under the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Lifecare Medical Services allegedly fired an employee because of his Multiple Sclerosis after he requested additional leave as a reasonable accommodation for his MS, but instead was issued disciplinary actions for absences related to his disability.  In October 2010, Adair requested, as a reasonable accommodation, additional points under the company's no-fault attendance policy.  Lifecare Medical Services responded to the request for accommodation by firing Adair.  See No. 5:13-cv-01447 (N.D. Ohio). ​
