The article highlights a rising trend in ADA accommodation requests from remote workers, primarily in response to return-to-office mandates. A recent AbsenceSoft report indicates that 60% of HR professionals report an increase in requests, with a significant portion explicitly asking for remote work. The rise may be attributed to various factors, including long COVID effects and a general push against rigid workplace policies. While the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission outlines that remote work isn't mandatory, companies offering remote positions must navigate these ADA requests thoughtfully.
Now, ADA requests are on the rise as remote workers seek accommodations against mandatory return-to-office policies, highlighting the pushback against inflexible work arrangements.
According to a report from AbsenceSoft, ADA requests have risen for the second year, with 60% of HR professionals noting an increase, and 51% requesting remote work.
An increase in long-term disabilities may also correlate with the adverse effects of Covid-19, influencing remote work accommodation requests among affected employees.
While the EEOC states businesses are not required to provide remote work for all employees, those that do offer such positions need to consider ADA requests.
