[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for your replies. Do you coordinate your reasonable accommodation request with your boss? My boss is nice. Like 50-90% of my duties on any single day would need to be erased…  is this even feasible?[/quote]

I’m a fed manager. It’s going to depend on what your job description says. If these duties are in your job description, they cannot be erased. Like if they need you lifting boxes or traveling once a month, that’s an essential part of your job.

What’s the disability? They can give reasonable accommodations that help with a lot. Like a screen reader or flexible hours so you can attend physical therapy in the middle of the day.

I’m wondering why you took a job if you can’t do 90% of the duties? Is this a new disability?[/quote]

Agree. It’s going to depend on the tasks. Let’s say you were hired to be a bus driver, but came down with a seizure disorder and are no longer allowed to drive. Your agency might try to move you into another open position that you could do if they are nice and have the flexibility to do so, but they have no obligation to keep you in the original job because you cannot do the core functions and can fire you under the law. Also, the accommodations just have to be sufficient and appropriate, but not necessarily the thing you specifically asked for. [/quote]
