  1. Employers Must Accommodate Disabled Employees

  2. We live in an era of self-centered employers who see their employees like numbers on a piece of paper. But when it comes to disability, the numbers need to match. Employers are required to make reasonable accommodations for workers with disabilities.

  3. What is Reasonable Accommodation? Employers can’t engage in discriminatory conduct related to the employee’s disability, including: ● Classifying jobs in a way that discriminates potential employees with disabilities ● Encourage others to engage in discriminatory behavior ● Use discriminatory criteria ● Deny employees benefits on the basis of disability

  4. Undue Hardship Exception This is the legal term used under ADA to describe employers who may not be able to accommodate employees with disabilities because they don’t have the resources. Some factors considered in these types of cases include: ● ● ● ● ● Accommodation costs The business’ resources How many people work for this company Company size How the accommodation may impact other operations

  5. What Type Of Accommodations Are Required Some courts require the employee and employer to come to an agreement about accommodating disabilities. In other words, the employer may not know what type of accommodations they need to provide, and the employees may ignore the need to take the initiative.

  6. Alcohol and Drugs Employees with a history of drug and alcohol abuse may qualify for disability. However, they are required to work just like any other employee and respect work policies, including not drinking or doing drugs in the workplace.
