Company has a no fault attendance policy. Only pre-approved vacation, jury duty, military, hospitalization, FMLA, WC are excused. Employee has a prosthetic leg. Reported to work but as soon as arriving, screw came out of leg so the employee left to purchase and repair. Missed 95% of the work day. Results in an unexcused absence. Policy allows 7 unexcused before termination. This puts employee at 2. Does the ADA prevent employer from documenting the absence as unexcused?
