Disability accommodation
Job applicant – Otherwise qualified
Williams v. MTA Bus Co.
20-2985
Judges Cabranes, Raggi, and Carney
Background: At issue is an employer’s obligation to provide accommodations to a job applicant with a disability under the Rehabilitation Act.
Ruling: The Second Circuit affirmed. The court held that an applicant must demonstrate that he was otherwise qualified for the desired employment position on a failure-to-accommodate claim arising from the employer’s pre-employment testing protocols. The plaintiff, who is deaf, failed to make such a showing.
Andrew Rozynski, of Eisenberg & Baum, for the plaintiff-appellant; Gabriella Palencia, executive agency counsel, for the defendant-appellee.
