The Americans with Disabilities Act requires covered employers to provide reasonable accommodations to qualified employees with disabilities — unless doing so would cause undue hardship. The interactive process, accommodation decisions, and documentation are all legally significant. We advise Utah employers on managing accommodation requests in compliance with the ADA and Utah's Anti-Discrimination Act.
The Interactive Process
When an employee requests an accommodation, the employer must engage in an interactive process to identify possible accommodations. This is a dialogue — not a unilateral employer decision. We advise on how to conduct the interactive process, what information can be requested from the employee's physician, and how to document the process to protect against ADA claims.
Undue Hardship Analysis
An employer does not have to provide an accommodation that causes undue hardship — significant difficulty or expense given the employer's resources and the nature of the business. We help employers conduct and document a proper undue hardship analysis when an accommodation is not feasible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to accommodate an employee's mental health disability?
Yes. The ADA covers mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD, when they substantially limit a major life activity. Common accommodations include modified schedules, remote work, and modified productivity standards. We advise on appropriate accommodations for specific conditions.
