Employees are entitled to reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other relevant laws.
Reasonable accommodations are modifications or adjustments to the work environment that enable qualified employees to perform their job duties effectively and retain their employment. Accommodations can include changes to work schedules, modifications of equipment, accessible facilities, or job restructuring. Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations unless doing so would cause undue hardship, meaning significant difficulty or expense.
If you are an employee seeking reasonable accommodations, we can help you understand your rights under the ADA or other relevant laws. We can assist in navigating the interactive process with employers and ensure that requests are handled promptly and fairly. If your request for accommodation has been denied or you face retaliation for making such a request, we can advise on the necessary steps you must take to preserve your rights, which includes filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or a state agency. We advocate for your rights, ensuring that your employer complies with legal obligations and that you receive the necessary accommodations to succeed in your role.
