Description

The Reasonable Accommodation Request Form is designed to help employers, such as {Insert Name of Company}, assess the need for adjustments for employees with disabilities, enabling them to perform essential job functions safely and effectively. This form is divided into three sections: the first section is for employees to provide their details and outline their accommodation needs, including limitations and anticipated accommodations. The second section is completed by the employer, confirming receipt of the employee’s request and assessing the essential functions of the job in question. Finally, the third section is for Human Resources to document interactions with health care professionals and approve or deny accommodation requests. Key features include confidentiality provisions, a structured format for capturing information, and a clear process for approval. The form is essential for maintaining compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act while also ensuring a supportive work environment. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants can utilize this form to facilitate open communication between employees and management, protect company interests, and promote workplace inclusivity. Additionally, understanding the procedural requirements and documentation needed helps these legal professionals better advise their clients on compliance and the handling of accommodation requests.
