Reasonable Accommodation Denial FAQ

What is a reasonable accommodation?

A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a job, work environment, or the way things are usually done that enables a qualified employee or applicant with a disability to perform essential job functions.

Who is eligible for reasonable accommodations?

Employees and applicants with a disability, as defined by the ADA or Rehabilitation Act, who can perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation.

How do I request an accommodation?
  • Submit a written or verbal request to your supervisor or HR.
