What employment decision should Tonya make?

Question

Tonya Tone is responsible for filling a vacant position at her firm. The position requires good interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to type, file, and travel on an as-needed basis. An applicant sits before her during an interview for the vacant position. Tonya is relatively confident that the applicant satisfies the first three criteria. However, Tonya is concerned about the fourth requirement traveling on an as-needed basis, because the applicant is bound to a wheelchair due to a muscular disorder which does not affect her cognitive skills or her use of her arms and hands.

Answer 1

I think Tonya should have asked in the interview about travel--is it feasible, what limitations should the company be aware of, and what accomodations need to be made in order to help potential employee to travel.

Answer 2

Tonya can't discriminate due to a physical disability. She should pick the candidate.
