What employees can and can't expect

摘要

Answer: I refer you to two Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) websites: 1. Procedures for Providing Reasonable Accommodation for Individuals with Disabilities at bit. do/PWaccommodation. 2. Get the Facts Series: Small Business Information at bit.do/PWsmallbiz. They define "reasonable accommodation" as any change in the workplace environment or standard operating procedures that gives a disabled person an equal employment opportunity. Potential and current employers aren't expected to eliminate essential job functions or supply a device, such as a hearing aid, that someone relies on all the time. Reasonable accommodations fall into three groups: changes that enable someone to apply for a job; do the job; and access common locations and events such as the kitchen, parking lot, and annual holiday party.
