Summary
A female employee has a sleepwalking disorder. During a business conference, she walked into her male colleague's room in the middle of the night and encroached upon his privacy. The man, who was married, was petrified. The woman was very apologetic after she woke up to realize what had happened. Despite her having a history of good behavior and performance, it is recommended that she is fired after this incident. The woman asserted that it is wrong and illegal to terminate someone due to their disability. What is the best course of action and why?
