Reasonable Accommodations in Employment

Reasonable accommodations in employment refer to necessary adjustments or modifications made by an employer to enable employees with disabilities to perform their job duties effectively. This can include changes to work schedules, accessibility improvements, or providing specialized equipment. The goal is to ensure that individuals have equal opportunities in the workplace without compromising their ability to contribute. Employers must consider requests for accommodations unless doing so would create undue hardship, such as significant difficulty or expense. Protecting employees' rights to these accommodations fosters an inclusive work environment.
