Reasonable Accommodation For Those With Disabilities

If you are disabled but can perform the essential functions of your job with an accommodation, your employer is legally obligated to provide you with a reasonable accommodation unless doing so imposes an undue hardship on its business operations. Examples of reasonable accommodations may include, but are not limited to:

• Modifying facilities
• Modifying work schedules
• Acquiring or modifying equipment
• Reassigning jobs or positions

Interactive Process

While your employer is not required to provide you with the accommodation that you request, it is required to engage in the interactive process to determine what accommodations are necessary. The interactive process is essentially a fluid process through which employers (i) obtain necessary information to understand and discuss disabled employees’ needs so as to perform the essential functions of their jobs and (ii) discuss possible options to address those needs in language employees can understand.
