The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to employees or applicants with disabilities, unless to do so would cause an undue hardship. Reasonable accommodation claims under the ADA are requests for a change in the workplace, which provides an individual with a disability the ability to perform essential job functions. Common types of reasonable accommodation requests include changes to the work environment, changes in policies and procedures, and the provision of assistive devices or services. Examples of reasonable accommodation claims that may be made under the ADA include: 1. Modifying work schedules, such as allowing a flexible start and end time. 2. Allowing an employee to work remotely. 3. Installing special equipment, such as assistive technology. 4. Making the workplace more accessible, such as providing ramps or widening doorways. 5. Modifying existing job duties or providing job restructuring. 6. Providing additional training or instruction. 7. Providing interpreters or readers for employees with hearing or vision disabilities. 8. Allowing the use of service animals. 9. Allowing an employee to take a leave of absence for medical treatment. 10. Acquiring or modifying specialized equipment or devices.
