Disability Accommodations and Leave Rights
Employees with qualifying disabilities may be entitled to reasonable accommodations that enable them to perform the essential functions of their positions, absent undue hardship to the employer.
Employees may also have legal protections relating to:
• Medical leave
• Family leave
• Pregnancy accommodations
• Intermittent leave
• Return-to-work issues
• The interactive accommodation process
If your employer ignored accommodation requests, denied protected leave, failed to engage in the interactive process, or retaliated after a request was made, legal remedies may exist.
