As the rise of Return to Office (RTO) mandates leads to more requests for work-from-home accommodations, employers are scrutinizing these requests, making the process lengthier and often stressful for disabled employees.
Mansell emphasizes the importance of seeing a primary care doctor for accommodation requests instead of specialists, as they often have quicker access and can provide comprehensive medical information necessary for filing.
The accommodation request process should be collaborative between the employer and employee, with the aim of achieving an arrangement that meets medical needs without unreasonable burden on the employer.
Ultimately, if the accommodation process becomes too cumbersome, it could lead to more individuals feeling that resignation is their only viable option, highlighting the need for employers to streamline these requests.
