I recently spoke with a Wal-Mart employee who was placed on unpaid leave pending a physical examination. This employee indicated that she was placed on this leave after she worked two shifts without being able to sit down every ten minutes. She stated that she provided a doctors order explaining her physical limitations to the Human Resources Office when she was hired and has since provided updated documentation for any changes in her health. A recent policy change at all Wal-Mart stores prevents this woman from sitting while on the sales floor, a "reasonable accommodation" promised to her when she was hired. All chairs and stools have been removed from all Wal-Mart sales floors to keep employees from sitting while in view of customers. Apparently, employees seen sitting while on the sales floor is viewed by customers as "laziness" and Wal-Mart has reacted by not allowing any employee to sit while working on the sales floor.
