Abbie began working for ABC College in 2019 as a security guard. During the summer of 2022, Abbie sustained a leg injury while she was hiking. As a result, Abbie had surgery. Following her recovery, Abbie was informed by her doctor that she could work 3-5 hours a day at a desk job. Abbie was assigned to work in the ABC College administration office doing paperwork. After approximately 2 months Abbie was given the approval of her doctor to go back to working security but was required to stay off her feet and limit her walking to no more than 30 minutes during a 4-hour period. The doctor noted that due to "pins" being placed in her leg, Abbie needs to strictly adhere to the restriction. ABC College was notified of the medical restriction and informed Abbie that she would have to look for a permanent position within the ABC College that would accommodate her permanent restrictions because she could no longer perform the duties of a security guard since she could not walk around the campus performing her duties. The letter to Abbie concluded that her "abilities do not match the physical demands of a security guard" ABC offered Abbie the position of Dispatch. Abbie would be responsible for incoming calls to security and dispatching the call to the appropriate security guard or police. She would have no direct security duties. Abbie considered ABC College's assignment contrary to the law and the equivalent of terminating her employment. Abbie comes to you seeking advice on whether she has any legal recourse.
