How will I know if my employee is "disabled" and should be accommodated?
The question of who is "disabled" under the law is one that is still
confusing to experts. In most cases, you will want to turn over any
documentation you receive from the employee to the human resources
office so that they can obtain a physician's review of the employee's
medical documentation. Once you get a decision from the medical
experts that the employee's condition significantly impacts his or her
ability to perform, you will need to carefully consider what the
employee is requesting in the way of accommodation and assess whether or
not you can provide the accommodation.
