The following excerpt is from Leafblad v. City of Pasadena Fire Dep't, B251923 (Cal. App. 2015):
As previously mentioned, Leafblad suffered an abdominal injury and was off work from January through March 2010. She returned to work without limitations or restrictions. In June 2010, she rolled her ankle and missed several days of work. She returned to work without limitations or restrictions, and did not need or request an accommodation due to injury. There is no evidence that Leafblad informed her employer that she was disabled. (See King v. United Parcel Service, Inc. (2007) 152 Cal.App.4th 426, 443 [employee must inform employer of disability].) It is undisputed that she was able to perform all of her duties on the date of her termination. We therefore conclude there is no evidence that she was suffering from an actual disability when she was terminated from her probationary employment.
