[MCOH-EH] Accommodations Under ADA

[Jim Garb]

HI John - Sounds like a text book approach to me.  The difference will
probably be from the non-unionized shops where they can temporarily
accommodate people in other departments more easily. 

 

Hope your summer is going well.  I still subscribe to this list, although I
often wonder why.  But it's fun to see postings from people I know. 

 

Jim

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Accommodations Under ADA

 

Hello List,

We're reviewing our process for requests for temporary accommodation under
the ADA.  Currently, Occ Hlth evaluates the employee and any supporting
medical documentation and sends the manager an email with
restrictions/recommended accommodations.  If the manager accepts the
restrictions/accommodations, the employee returns to work until their next
follow-up appt.  If the manager is unsure about accommodating the employee,
there is an interactive process discussion between the manager, HR and the
employee to review potential accommodations.  If they agree an accommodation
can be made, the employee returns to work and if not, they remain out of
work until their next follow-up eval. 

 

Am interested in hearing how other organizations handle employees returning
to work with restrictions.

Thank you,
