Following the incident at the holiday party, Sally decided that she didn't want to "rock the boat" and she liked her job as an HR coordinator too much to jeopardize it by complaining to the EEOC. She works well with Bill and has learned a lot from him as her HR manager. Starting in 2023, one of Sally's new responsibilities is to review candidate resumes and cover letters, perform screening interviews and recommend candidates for the next level of interviews with managers. Sally is reviewing applications for a data entry position when she comes across a cover letter that gives her pause. 

The candidate has great qualifications, including an associate's degree in business and several years of related experience. In the cover letter, however, the candidate states that he has autism spectrum disorder and significant challenges in communicating with others. He states that sometimes in interview situations he is not able to respond to questions that he is asked. Sally is not sure what to do and visits Bill for help deciding how to handle the situation. She is concerned about how to manage the interview and how the candidate might perform as an employee once they are hired.

 

provide summary of the advice that you think Bill should give Sally regarding this candidate. Be sure to cite the applicable law and suggest ways that Storm Enterprises can be sure to comply with the law.
