Fitzgerald, P.J.
([concurring•). I disagree with the majority’s sentiments regarding the soundness of the decision in Rymar v Michigan Bell Telephone Co, 190 Mich App 504; 476 NW2d 451 (1991). I believe that Rymar was properly decided and that the Handicappers’ Civil Rights Act, MCL 37.1101 et seq.-, MSA 3.550(101) et seq., requires an employer to provide its employee a “reasonable time to heal” from a temporary injury before discharging an employee for an inability to perform a job, where the inability results from the injury.
