Providing accommodations for “hidden” disabilities may be difficult.
Requests for ADA accommodations are growing including telecommuting, traveling, scent‐free workplace, medical marijuana, emotional support animals, and the issues of hidden disabilities. When an employee requests a first class plane ticket due to their back condition that necessitated hourly stretching and walking a court found that the employer’s accommodation of sleeper car train ticket was reasonable. Some courts have found a “scent-free” workplace is “impractical” and would create an undue hardship. An individual does not have to disclose a disability unless a reasonable accommodation is needed. An employer’s medical inquiries to an employee must be job-related and consistent with business necessity. Our speaker goes through each of these different types of requests and how the courts are responding.
