Employers may have to consider instituting yet another employment policy: No perfume in the workplace. A Detroit city employee with breathing problems contended that a reasonable accommodation under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) involved prohibiting other employees from wearing perfume. The city is complying after the worker obtained a $100,000 settlement of her ADA lawsuit. As The Detroit News reported:
“City employees with a strong aroma of perfume, cologne or any scented products will soon be in for a warning. Detroit officials have plans to place placards in three city buildings detailing scented products to avoid due to a settlement in a widely publicized federal lawsuit filed by a city planner in 2008 and settled last month.”
