What types of reasonable accommodations must employers provide for disabled workers?

Under Ohio’s disability law, employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for disabled workers, unless doing so would create an undue hardship for the employer. Reasonable accommodations are changes to the way tasks are normally done or to the work environment that allow a disabled worker to do their job effectively. Common examples of reasonable accommodations include: modifying work spaces or equipment to make them more accessible; providing interpreters or assistive technology to help a worker access information; adjusting or modifying job duties to enable a person to do the work; or offering flexible scheduling options or job sharing to enable an employee to maintain their job despite difficulty with a given task. Employers are also required to engage in an interactive process with the employee to determine what reasonable accommodations will be necessary and effective, as well as to assess whether providing any accommodation will cause an undue hardship on the employer. Employers should ensure that all reasonable requests for accommodations are considered, to ensure that employees with disabilities have the opportunity to continue employment.
