Re: Emploiyer not making a good faith effort to accomodate

Reasonable accommodation is required. The facts determine what is reasonable. Feel free to contact me to discuss your rights and remedies. We may be able to get them into compliance without legal action.

Re: Emploiyer not making a good faith effort to accomodate

I am sorry to hear about your condition, I wish you fast and painless recovery.

An employer (in most circumstances) has a duty to provide a reasonable accommodationg as well as engage in a good faith interactive process with you to determine what is a reasonable accommodation. It sounds as if you already have provided your employer with a written request for an accommodation, but if not, please ensure your request is written. Ask the employer for the accommodation in accordance with your doctor's orders. Ask your employer in writing, if there is any refusal or discourse, what the concern is (of course in a polite fashion) and ask them to engage in the interactive process to find a reasonable accommodation which works for everyone and complys with your medical requirements.

Failure to do either could put your employer at liability. Of course, there are excuses for everything, so I suggest you put everything in writing, be as polite as possible, pushy (because your health comes first) at the same time and work with your doctor to find out what you need.

Ask to speak to your company's human resources, look at the employee handbook for guidance and if this does not work, you may need to seek legal counsel.

You are more than welcome to contact counsel in your area or our office (phone or e-mail) if you have further questions. Best of luck.

Sincerely,

Beth Mora
