Sunrise Bank, a private bank with 600 employees, advertises a vacancy for a Teller Supervisor. The job requires standing for long periods, frequent customer interaction, and handling cash. Mara, 38, uses a wheelchair due to a spinal condition, applies for the job, and is interviewed. During the interview HR states that the standing requirement and customer-service demands would be difficult to accommodate and that providing accommodations would be costly and impractical. The bank declines to hire Mara and refuses any accommodation. Mara sues under RA 7277. (a) Identify the central doctrine governing RA 7277 and the controlling standard for evaluating employment discrimination against persons with disabilities. (b) Explain how RA 7277's duty of reasonable accommodation interacts with the employer's defenses of undue hardship or essential job functions. (c) Apply to the facts: has Sunrise Bank discriminated against Mara? What remedies are available?

Choose the Best Answer

No. RA 7277 applies only to recruitment stage; if Mara is not hired, RA 7277 does not require any remedy beyond administrative measures. Yes. RA 7277 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and requires reasonable accommodation unless it would impose undue hardship; Mara's rejection without accommodation constitutes discrimination; remedies include reinstatement with back pay and other damages allowed by law. No. The bank may rely on the essential job functions defense if the duties require standing and high levels of customer interaction that cannot reasonably be performed with Mara's disability; RA 7277 does not require hiring in such cases; remedy would be dismissal or non-hiring. Yes. The bank's decision is discriminatory because the duty to identify reasonable accommodations is part of RA 7277; the bank's failure to engage in the interactive process constitutes discrimination; remedy includes reinstatement with back pay.
