A local woman is suing her former employer, saying the company should have done more to accommodate a medical condition that sometimes caused her to fall asleep on the job.
Rosemary Garman had worked for Health Care Services Corporation in Morgan County for nine-and-a-half years before she was fired in 2011.
Her lawsuit, filed by Springfield attorney John Baker, says she suffered from a Vitamin D deficiency and an underactive thyroid, which caused drowsiness.
The suit claims the company refused to negotiate with her about ways to work around the problem, and says that constitutes a violation of the Illinois Human Rights Act.
