Quick Answer

If you believe you may need a workplace accommodation, contact Human Resources to begin the interactive accommodation process.

 

What Is a Reasonable Accommodation?

A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to the work environment or job duties that allows an individual with a verified disability to perform the essential functions of their job, unless doing so would create an undue hardship for the Company.

Accommodations may include, but are not limited to:

  • Adjustments to work schedules

  • Modifications to job duties or equipment

  • Workplace accessibility adjustments

  • A leave of absence, where appropriate

  • Other individualized accommodations based on specific needs

Each request is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and must be considered reasonable.

 

How to Request a Workplace Accommodation

  1. Contact Human Resources
  2. Begin the Interactive Process
    • HR will work with you to understand your needs, review any relevant information, and discuss potential accommodation options.
  3. Provide Supporting Information if Requested
    • In some cases, HR may request documentation to help evaluate the accommodation request.
  4. Accommodation Review and Determination
    • ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​HR will assess whether a reasonable accommodation can be provided without causing undue hardship and will communicate next steps.

 

Important Things to Know

  • You do not need to use specific legal language to request an accommodation.

  • Accommodation requests are reviewed individually based on job requirements and circumstances.

  • Not all requests can be granted, but HR will work with you to explore reasonable options when possible.

 

Helpful Tip

If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies as an accommodation request, HR can help you determine the appropriate next step.
