Such assumptions run afoul of the ADA and may lead to rulings that employers have discriminated against potential employees as a matter of law, wrote Judge Jacques Wiener. The appeal involved a temporary employee who was offered a permanent position, only to have the offer rescinded, because the employer believed his diabetes was uncontrolled.
