Pagel v. TIN Inc.

Dist. Ct. erred in granting defendant-employer's motion for summary judgment in action alleging that defendant terminated plaintiff in attempt to interfere with plaintiff's FMLA rights after plaintiff had reported to his supervisor that he had chest pains and needed to go to hospital. While defendant explained that plaintiff was terminated for failing to meet expectations with respect to sales volume and contacts, record contained dispute as to whether defendant had failed to make reasonable adjustment to employment expectations to account for plaintiff's FMLA leave and then terminated him when he failed to meet unadjusted expectations. Record also showed that supervisor relied on inaccurate data in finding that plaintiff did not meet some of company's reporting requirements.
