reasonable accommodation

Read a random definition: presentation

A quick definition of reasonable accommodation:

A reasonable accommodation is a change made to a job or work environment that helps a qualified worker with a disability or religious need to do their job. This can include things like changing work hours, providing special equipment, or making the workplace more accessible. Employers are required by law to make reasonable accommodations unless it would be too difficult or expensive for them to do so.

A more thorough explanation:

A reasonable accommodation is a change made to a job or work environment that allows a qualified worker to do their job. This is often needed for workers with disabilities, but can also be needed for workers who need to practice their religion. Employers are required by law to provide reasonable accommodations, unless it would cause them too much difficulty.

Examples of reasonable accommodations include:

  • Making the workplace accessible for workers with disabilities
  • Changing work schedules or job duties to fit the needs of workers with disabilities
  • Providing special equipment or tools for workers with disabilities
  • Providing interpreters or readers for workers with disabilities

For example, if a worker is deaf, their employer may need to provide them with a sign language interpreter so they can communicate with coworkers and customers. Or, if a worker has a physical disability that makes it hard for them to use a computer, their employer may need to provide them with a special keyboard or mouse that is easier for them to use.

Overall, reasonable accommodations are important because they allow workers with disabilities to do their jobs and be productive members of the workforce.
