He did not pass the physical and additional testing is required. He has been with the company for several years and is paid well above starting pay. The management wants to move him to another part of the factory and cut his pay over $8.00 an hour until additional testing is completed (at the employees expense) and he has satisfactory approval to wear the respirator. By doing this will it go against the ADA act? I can see reassignment of duties, but not the pay cut. I have not been able to find anything on State or Federal sites that specifically talk about this issue. Any information on where to go for regs or similar circumstances will be greatly appreciated.
