Let’s chat about your rights.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities, making sure they have access to the same rights and opportunities as non-disabled people.
Under the ADA, employers with 15+ employees must provide reasonable accommodations to disabled employees.
Reasonable accommodations are changes to your job/workplace that allow you to do your job comfortably and effectively!
Here are some examples of reasonable accommodations:
Flexible schedules and remote work
Equipment/devices to help you with tasks like a standing desk
Physically altering your workspace by adding ramps and modifying restrooms
Assistive technology for your job functions like a screen reader and magnification software
Amazing! How does this help me at work?
I see! So what are reasonable accommodations?
What are some examples of reasonable accommodations I could request?
I have more questions . . .
-
Under the ADA, you are entitled to no retaliation. Your employer cannot retaliate against you for requesting an accommodation.
-
There are some situations where an employer might legally deny a request, including:
Undue Hardship: If the accommodation would cause significant difficulty or expense for the employer.
Direct Threat: If the accommodation poses a direct threat to the health or safety of the employee or others in the workplace.
Essential Job Functions: If the accommodation would prevent the employee from performing the essential functions of their job.
Lack of Documentation: If the employee does not provide sufficient medical documentation to support their need for the accommodation.
