Employees have the right to reasonable accommodations in the workplace under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and similar state laws. This means that if an employee has a disability that affects their ability to perform essential job functions, they can request adjustments or modifications to help them do their job. These accommodations could include things like modified work schedules, assistive technology, or changes to workspace accessibility. Employers are required to engage in an interactive process with the employee to explore potential accommodations, as long as the request does not impose an undue hardship on the business.
