Description

The Reasonable Accommodation Request Form is designed to assist employers in determining the necessary accommodations for employees with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This form is structured into three sections: Section I is for the employee to detail their limitations and the specific accommodations they believe are necessary. Section II, for the employer, verifies whether the employee has signed the form and if an Essential Job Function Analysis has been completed. Section III is managed by Human Resources to ensure all required documentation, including health care professional inputs, is collected and assessed. Key features of this form include strict confidentiality protocols, a clear process for requesting accommodations, and an organized method for employer response. The form's utility is paramount for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it outlines a critical legal framework for compliance with disability rights. By facilitating effective communication between employees and employers, the form ensures that necessary accommodations are accurately documented and addressed. This process not only protects employee rights but also minimizes potential legal liabilities for employers, making it a crucial tool for managing workplace diversity and inclusion.
