Even though your FMLA time is exhausted, you might be protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you are disabled, the ADA requires your employer to engage in the interactive process once you have made a request for reasonable accommodation. Blanket rules refusing accommodations usually violate the ADA. Please visit our site and contact us for more information,.
