Under the Ohio and federal disability discrimination laws, employers are prohibited from discriminating against an employee with a disability who can perform the essential functions of the job “with or without a reasonable accommodation.” A reasonable accommodation is a modification of workplace policies or procedures that would allow the employee to perform the essential functions of the job. Employers are required to make reasonable accommodations of the known physical or mental limitations of an employee with a disability unless the employer can show doing so would pose an undue hardship.
