Description
Julie Ann Wilson appeals from a judgment in favor of her employer the County of Orange (the County). Wilson is a radio dispatcher at the Orange County Sheriffs Departments (the Department) county-wide emergency communications system. She sued the County under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, 12940, subds. (m) & (n)), contending it failed to make reasonable accommodation for her medical condition that necessitated she avoid the most stressful aspects of her job. Specifically, Wilson had sought to be excused from staffing the pursuit desk, the communication channel that assists officers who leave their jurisdictions during a pursuit or emergency. Although the County accommodated Wilson in precisely the manner she sought, she contends it nonetheless violated FEHA by not providing her the accommodation earlier and by not initiating an "interactive process" sooner to determine whether she could be accommodated.
