What Accommodations Must an Employer Provide for a Disability?

Employers generally must provide reasonable accommodations that allow qualified employees with disabilities to perform the essential functions of their jobs, unless doing so would create an undue hardship.

The best approach is to engage in an individualized, interactive process, document the discussion, consider reasonable alternatives, and keep medical information confidential. Before denying an accommodation or taking adverse action, employers should make sure the decision is well supported and legally reviewed when appropriate.
