Recently, we talked about Family and Medical Leave, which provides you with 12 weeks of unpaid leave and job security. Another law, the Americans With Disabilities Act, also protects people with serious health conditions. It does not authorize a long term leave, however. It does require that that Pennsylvania companies make reasonable accommodations so that you may continue to do your job.
What is a Reasonable Accommodation?
There are many, such as purchasing equipment (bigger computer screen, office equipment, warehouse equipment, etc.), moderate alterations of work schedules or work locations, short term leave for medical appointments or recovery from illness. The key is that 1) you must specifically request a reasonable accommodation; 2) you will probably need to provide medical certification that the accommodation is necessary; and, 3) the accommodation must enable you to perform your job. The ADA does not require an employer to transfer you to another position; it requires employers to work with you, upon your request, to come up with a reasonable solution that will permit you to do your current job.
