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,
John C. Palfrey, PA-C
