Employer Must Engage in Interactive Process with Deaf Employee

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity filed a lawsuit against Greater Baltimore Medical Center for violating federal law when it allegedly discriminated against a deaf employee by revoking the offer of employment and terminated her without engaging in the interactive process required by law. This conduct violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits disability discrimination and retaliation and requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities unless it would cause undue hardship. See EEOC v. GBMC Healthcare Inc., No. 24-cv-02803 (D. Md.).
