• Your Right to a Reasonable Accommodation Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

    • The ADA gives employees with disabilities the right to reasonable accommodations that will allow them to do their jobs.
    • A reasonable accommodation is any change to the application or hiring process, to the job, to the way the job is done, or the work environment that allows a person with a disability who is qualified for the job to perform the essential functions of that job and enjoy equal employment opportunities.
    • The agency may reject an employee’s request for a reasonable accommodation for the following reasons: The employee is not an individual with a qualifying disability. … The employee is unable to provide requested documentation from a medical professional that demonstrates that he/she has a qualifying disability.
