If you will need changes at work to permit you to do your job while undergoing treatment, before asking for changes:
-
Make note of everything you do on a daily basis, including deadlines. It can be as simple as keeping a written log of what you do each day.
-
Make a list of current projects and foreseeable next steps.
-
Think about what could be postponed or given to other people.
-
Note important dates when things have to be done.
Negotiate for what you need to permit you to work while going to medical appointments and receiving treatment.
-
All accommodations involve a negotiation with your employer. Learn how to negotiate for what you need.
-
Think about accommodations that would work, including alternatives. In addition to thinking about what would work for you, balance your employer's needs.
