better position financially than you would have been had he accepted a reasonable accommodation and come back to work and see us tries to deal the whole purpose of the duty behind the shooting the whole gotcha it is not intended to forever punish employers who are perhaps initially slow to start off on that process or who don't are nationally receptive enough to propose reasonable accommodation and find a reasonable accommodation under reaching a reasonable accommodation this particular subsection i e requiring an interactive process was recently amended to essentially create even vice or vehicle whereby employers and employees the company casco gives this guy a hard time for a long time jury we can say that that's fair enough under the jury juries find finally at the end of the day it comes up with a reasonable accommodation that is as i see it the jury says ok that would be reasonable and you know without getting into so down because of the fact that cosco for all these months is giving him a hard time and he doesn't perceive that at that moment as being reasonable because i think this guy's doing they're going to say they're going to say sort of like happened in cloud they say well wait you know we'll give you a couple months and then they're going to jerk me around this with their then he things all of this technically easily quantifiable the one hundred thousand dollars even mitigated by ten thousand resulting in ninety thousand dollars decision if you can't get there from here undisputed there is no evidence to the contrary that mr conan was earning sixteen and it's not even just the amount it's the timeframe over which it covers is because to do it immediately i think it's a case of first impression i'm not aware of any decision where the damages for a failure to interact needing interactive not return to work as a direct result in processing the cost of their failure to engage in the interactive process i think of all argument answered by the jury below and there was evidence in the record to support their conclusion i think there was also evidence and the record with the interactive process that affected what he ultimately did when they finally did come up with an accommodation right yes i think that has to be thin the c i think that's one thing that's part of the causal chain i think first is there's a lot of there the layer of i would even put it but you're you could find their refusal to engage in the interactive process i think the second well that's what they found the i think in answer to judge for me on this question too in terms of the causal connection i think judge through here in ruling upon the motion from the trout i had a number of findings that were supported by the evidence when he noted that even though the in the interactive process he was faced with the problem of going back to an employer that was refusing to interact or negotiate with him on potential lucian's he was going back into a position of the same manager scotched or if you was went back when offered a position that was temporary and only offered it after they said we can't do this and only after he complained to the equal employment opportunity commission so he i think had adequate evidence to conclude adequate knowledge and depth point in time to conclude it lawful use from the date when mr condit first sought to return to work and i had first had a doctor's release to return to work as you were a two thousand feet provided to calculations based upon vocational rehabilitation plans and reduced by w believe one hundred ten thousand dollars under the one version and two hundred twenty thousand under the other version just first or found that of based upon the timing of the one version that if the jury had basically awarded paid up to the  the judgment that was one hundred thousand dollars it was a her two numbers were exactly one hundred ten thousand dollars three hundred forty eight seconds assumptions two hundred thirty one thousand one hundred eighty dollars that number took the slightly pa theory found here is a reasonable accommodation was offered we can even if for some reason it was running through its mind that in eight weeks a new combination would be needed at that point in time we don't know what was going to happen so it's entirely speculative to
