Please review our Disclaimer \/ Terms of Use \/ Privacy Policy<\/a> before proceeding.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\r\nAn employer's duty to accommodate a disabled employee arises in two general circumstances:\r\n

(1) when the impairment has a substantially limiting effect upon the individual's ability to perform his or her job, the individual's ability to apply or be considered for a job, or the individual's access to equal benefits, privileges, or terms or conditions of employment; and<\/p>\r\n

(2) when the employee has put the employer on notice of the existence of an impairment, and medical documentation establishes a reasonable likelihood that engaging in job functions without an accommodation would aggravate the impairment to the extent that it would create a substantially limiting effect.<\/p>\r\nRCW 49.60.040<\/a>(7)(d). In either circumstance, an impairment must be known or shown through an interactive process to exist in fact.\r\n

PRIMA FACIE CASE<\/h3>\r\nTo establish a prima facie case of failure to provide reasonable accommodations, the plaintiff must show:\r\n

(1)\u00a0 plaintiff had a sensory, mental, or physical abnormality that substantially limited the plaintiff's ability to perform the job;<\/p>\r\n

(2)\u00a0 plaintiff was qualified to perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodations, or was qualified to fill vacant positions;<\/p>\r\n

(3)\u00a0 plaintiff gave the employer notice of the disability and its accompanying substantial limitations; and<\/p>\r\n

(4)\u00a0 that upon notice, the employer failed to reasonably accommodate the plaintiff.<\/p>\r\nDavis v. Microsoft Corp.<\/em>, 149 Wn.2d 521, 532, 70 P.3d 126 (2003).\r\n
