HEDRICK v. WESTERN RESERVE CARE SYSTEM
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit (2004) | 355 F.3d 444
TL;DR: An employer offered a disabled nurse a comparable job as an accommodation. After she rejected it due to its low salary, the court held the employer had fulfilled its duty under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the employee was no longer a "qualified individual."
Legal Significance: An employee who rejects an employer's offer of a reasonable accommodation is no longer considered a "qualified individual with a disability" under the ADA. An employer is not required to provide the employee's preferred accommodation, only a reasonable one.
