My brother in-law worked for a company called e-check. In order to get the job you have to pass a test to be hired, and although he has a reading disability the passed the test. He was doing well at his job, and they promoted him to assistant manager. In order to keep that position he had to pass another test. He failed the test the first time, and they were going to make provisions for him to be read aloud to. Then they decided against it and he had to take the test by himself. He then passed the test. The HR manager did not believe the results so she came to his site and had him read some paperwork aloud. When he stumbled over some words the next day he was demoted. The wrote down that he needed to get some remedial reading on his own time. When he went to appeal his demotion he was fired for insubordination. They felt that his reading level was too low although he had been doing the job for 6mos.
Can he be fired for his disability?
Thanks for the help.
