This case highlights the dilemma of Nicholas, an accounting executive, who must decide whether to promote a disabled employee, Paul, to a management role. Paul is a strong performer; however he is frequently required to work at home on a laptop in order to manage the symptoms of Crohn’s disease. Nicholas needs to decide whether this presents a barrier to Paul’s ability to take on greater degrees of responsibility. He struggles with the legal and ethical implications of his decision. The impact of his decision on the rest of his team is also considered.
