Burnett was a janitor for Habitat, a property management business. His job required him to lift heavy
Question:
After the biopsy, Burnett returned to work with a doctor’s treatment plan that limited him from heavy lifting or strenuous activity. Burnett claimed that his supervisors ignored these restrictions, and he submitted two vacation requests. Polo denied the second request and told Burnett that the treatment plan was not important. Burnett said he was going home because he felt sick, and Polo terminated him the next day for insubordination. A week after he was terminated, Burnett was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Burnett claimed Habitat violated the FMLA by denying him leave and violated the ADA. Did Habitat violate the FMLA? The ADA? What defense will Habitat assert? Did Burnett’s supervisors exercise good business judgment? Act ethically? [Burnett v. LFW, Inc., 472 F.3d 471 (7th Cir. 2006).]
