[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've got an immune condition that requires going to the 5 doctors every time I "flare."  What I'd like to do is not have to take the entire day off for those doctors appointments, but instead telework half days.  Is that something you'd request a reasonable accommodation for?   The doctors I see are not the type where you get to choose the time of your appointment, particularly on short notice; you just go when they say.[/quote]

Yes, you can request intermittent telework and leave to deal with these flare ups. [/quote]

but do I have to get a formal 'reasonable accommodation'?[/quote]

In this environment, I would.  I am considering it myself, since things are just not normal anymore.  I manage people and would normally not bat an eye if someone asked to intermittently telework because they weren’t feeling well, no questions asked.  Today, that’s different.  I’m asking employees to ask for an accomodation if they need one.[/quote]
