The employee has requested the employer provide a reasonable accommodation. What does this request entail?
1. Employment regardless of the disability
2. Needed and realistic modifications in the workplace
3. A part-time schedule if the qualified worker is unable to work on a full-time basis
4. Employment opportunities not given to persons without disabilities
2
Rationale: The employer is not required to hire all disabled applicants or to provide opportunities not given to persons without disabilities. This is not a reasonable accommodation. Having to do so might impose a hardship on the employer. Reasonable accommodation reflects changes that are needed for the worker to be successful and that are realistic modifications. The employer must attempt to make accommodations that are needed and acceptable to all parties involved.
