🚨 #ADAaccommodation #HR #WorkFromHome #Discrimination
Hey everyone! 🌟 Have you ever faced a situation where your ADA accommodation request was denied without a clear reason? Well, one of our community members is going through that right now. Let’s lend a helping hand and share some suggestions on how to proceed!
Here’s the backstory:
– The member requested to work from home entirely due to health reasons
– The department is mostly remote, with minimal in-office requirements
– The request was denied by the head of HR, despite no apparent reasons or undue hardship to the business
Possible solutions our community can offer:
– Request a meeting with HR to discuss the denial and provide additional medical information if needed
– Seek support from a disability rights organization for guidance on next steps
– Consider filing a formal complaint or seeking legal advice if necessary
If you’ve been in a similar situation or have any advice to share, please drop your thoughts below! Let’s support each other through these challenging times. 💪 #Equality #Support #DisabilityRights
If they consider the “team building” an essential job function they don’t have to accommodate missing the sessions.
In that instance using intermittent FMLA for those 3 days a quarter would be the appropriate remedy.
You respond and say “an inhaler will not help me work and does not accommodate my disability” and why, and then reiterate your request to work from home at all times. I hope this works but if it doesn’t, you need a plaintiff’s employment lawyer ASAP.
I don’t get it, isn’t an oncologist a cancer doctor?
I’ve been through this before. Get a lawyer who specializes in disability issues & have him help you file an ADA accommodation request. In the meantime, start looking for a new job.
Who else knew it was a WFH request just from the title 😂
You’re s**t out of luck on this one. Your doctor doesn’t dictate to a private company what they have to do to accommodate you. You don’t dictate to your employer what they have to do to accommodate you.
Contact the department of Justice at 1 (800) 514-0301.
The company you work for are violating your rights under the ADA.
People.dont seem to read what the ada says about accomadations. Its not make a request and it gets approved.
The ADA has the word REASONABLE included.
They are deeming it not a reaaonable request and came back with another option.
