It could be due to the availability of support staff. There are typically more people available during regular business hours should a patient need repositioned
or maneuvered for a procedure.

Racking my brain to think of what kind of disability would make you able to do your essential job tasks on a weekday, but not on a weekend day.
Can you share some more specifics? Might help with an answer to your conundrum

To all,
Does anyone have experience with Reasonable Accommodations for disabled physicians? Specifically, has anyone dealt with a situation of a physician who cannot take
weekend or night call due to a disability?
Did the hospital/physician group come up with a reasonable accommodation?
Did the reasonable accommodation include any of the following:
Increased clinic time during the week
Reduced salary (how was this determined)
Assignment of additional, non-clinical duties that could be performed during the week
I appreciate your help.
