Light-Duty Accommodation

We are a small employer (19 employees), and one of our employees was recently hurt on personal time and has asked for light-duty work. Do we have to accommodate his "light duty” status?
• Yes, but only if federal disability laws cover this employee.
• Possibly, but only if there is a state disability law that applies to this type of injury.
• Yes, if the employee requests an accommodation based on a disability.
• No, nothing is required because the employee was injured on personal time.
• Yes, if the employer has an existing light-duty position open.
• Both B and D are correct.
• Both C and E are correct.
