Monday Morning:-(

We have an ee who just stated that she is unable to do a portion of her job fuction. She claims that there is to much heat around the work station (never been an issue for anyone else in our calibration work group). She further claims the heat makes her ill. The job requires standing next to a heated tank of liquid and emersing parts to bring them to a temperature for calibration purposes. The area is just slightly warmer than normal room temperature, she has the ability to step away from the area regularly and she's not standing over the heated material.

There is nothing in her medical file restricting her from this type of activity and we are short handed due to recent layoffs. She normally doesn't do this activity on a regular basis but because of the above (layoff situation) she is being asked to work this station more regularly to her obvious chagrin.

My immediate supervisor and I disagree on what to do about this situation.

need some help!!!
