In one case, brought under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, the court found that an employee in fact was disabled, but the employer was not required to accommodate her sporadic and unscheduled absences. The court said this is true even if the employee is using time allotted to her. The court said that reasonably regular, reliable, and predictable attendance is a necessary element of most jobs. In another case, the disabled employee requested an accommodation to have a different supervisor. The court said there is a presumption that a request to change supervisors is unreasonable.
