The following is an example of a case law on essential job functions:
An employee's ability to perform all essential job functions without accommodation is a factor weighing against the reasonableness of an accommodation, not necessarily a complete bar to any claim by an employee needing to take insulin shots to prevent diabetic reactions. [Nawrot v. CPC Int'l, 259 F. Supp. 2d 716 (D. Ill. 2003)].
