The record showed that the plaintiff suffered two strokes. After the first, he requested a reasonable accommodation under the ADA (working a desk job). Flossmoor provided him with a reasonable accommodation (allowing him to use his paid time off to work part-time, per his physician's instructions). After the second stroke, he was unable to perform his essential job duties and resigned. Thus, the 7th Circuit held that his failure to accommodate claim was without merit. The employer reasonably accommodated him after his first stroke. Because he was unable to perform his essential job functions after his second stroke, the employer was no longer required to accommodate him.
The plaintiff had also filed other discrimination claims under Title VII. However, they were time-barred because his Charge of Discrimination had not been filed with theEEOC within 300 days.
