Connecticut Appellate Court Upholds Employer’s Right to Require In-Office Work
The Connecticut Appellate Court recently affirmed summary judgment in favor of a law firm employer, holding that a legal assistant’s request to work entirely remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic was not a reasonable accommodation under state anti-discrimination law. The decision in Castelino v. Whitman, Breed, Abbott & Morgan, LLC provides helpful guidance for employers navigating remote work requests as disability accommodations and clarifies the legal standard for determining essential job functions in the post-pandemic workplace.
