Breaks and Flexible Hours Not a Reasonable ADA Accommodation for Often Absent Employee, Court Holds

 

Employers can easily feel overwhelmed when it comes to enforcing employee attendance standards.

When also providing reasonable accommodation to employees with chronic health conditions. Increasingly, however, court decisions such as Williams v. AT&T Mobility Services LLC are providing much-needed guidance regarding the scope of an employer’s duty to accommodate. The Williams case illustrates how carefully-designed policies, frequent communication, and a generous sprinkling of patience form key ingredients in the recipe for avoiding liability under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
