What is a reasonable accommodation under the ADA?
A reasonable accommodation under the ADA and also under California's FEHA statutes is any accommodation to the workplace that'll make it available for an employee who's disabled to be able to continue to work. The accommodation must be reasonable, so it can't be outrageous or extreme.
And the accommodation needs to be something that the employer can do. Once an accommodation is given, the employee should be able to continue to do the reasonable job expectations with that accommodation. And so an employer is required to give reasonable accommodations to disabilities, but those are only accommodations that the employer can do without an undue burden.
There's a lot of legal terms involved in here. So, it's important if you need an accommodation or if you're looking to get a reasonable accommodation or if you want to see if what the employer gave to you is a reasonable accommodation that you contact an employment law attorney who specializes in this area of law who can help you determine what a reasonable accommodation is in your circumstance.
