Getting An Accommodation If You Need One To Help You Do Your Job

Next » « Previous

5/7

As long as you're able to perform the essential functions of your job, you are probably entitled to an accommodation if you need one because of your health condition or a treatment. What accommodation you'll receive is a matter of negotiation with your employer. 

Even if you're not entitled to an accommodation, use the same negotiation techniques to get an accommodation. Without an accommodation, you stand a chance of being fired for not performing your job well enough.

Now is the time to ask for the accommodation you need.

In order to get an accommodation, you must:

  • Tell your employer about your health condition, at least as a general matter and
  • Request the accommodation
