Description

The Accommodation Form Reasonable with Service Animal is designed to help employers determine the need for reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This form is critical for both employees requesting accommodations and employers assessing those requests. It consists of three sections: Section I, to be filled out by the employee, asks for personal details and a description of their disabilities and job-related limitations; Section II, to be completed by the employer, confirms whether necessary analyses have been executed; and Section III involves Human Resources, who finalizes and documents the request’s outcome. The form emphasizes confidentiality and mandates that data be stored separately from personnel files. It is especially useful for attorneys and paralegals when advising clients, ensuring compliance with legal requirements, and defending against potential claims. Legal partners and associates can use it to establish workplace protocols for handling accommodation requests effectively, while business owners can leverage it to uphold workplace inclusivity and avoid legal challenges. Overall, this form serves as a comprehensive tool to bridge communication and understanding between employees with disabilities and their employers, promoting a supportive work environment.
