Employers and Reasonable Accommodations

Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with disabilities to enable them to perform their job duties. These accommodations can include adjustments like modified work schedules, accessible workspaces, or special equipment. The goal is to support the employee’s ability to work effectively without causing undue hardship to the employer. The law obligates employers to consider and implement these accommodations as long as they are reasonable and do not impose significant difficulty or expense. This fosters a fair and inclusive workplace, ensuring all employees have equal opportunities to succeed.
