Medical Documentation Under the ADA - Odor Issues and Other Uncomfortable Employee Conversations

 
When an employee requests an accommodation and the disability or need for accommodation aren’t obvious or already documented, you are allowed to require medical documentation to show that the employee has a disability and that he needs the accommodation because of that disability. You are allowed to get the documentation, but you are not required to do so. If you choose to get the medical documentation to show that the employee has the disability keep in mind that the ADA’s definition is very broad. It shouldn’t take much information to confirm ADA coverage.

In this video our speakers, Linda Carter Batiste, J.D. and Beth Loy, Ph.D., review how to explore accommodations and how to choose the right accommodation. They also discuss how to implement the accommodation.

Linda Carter Batiste, J.D. is a principal consultant with the Job Accommodation Network and is a member of the management team. She specializes in the Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability related legislation.

Beth Loy, Ph.D. is a principal consultant with the Job Accommodation Network and serves on the management team. She is also a national researcher and speaker in the disability field.
