In the News: Robin Shea Addresses Reasonable Accommodation for HR.com Legal & Compliance Excellence

Media Mention

Constangy partner Robin Shea authored an article for the August 2025 issue of HR.com’s Legal & Compliance Excellence discussing  four missteps employers should avoid in order to stay in line with federal laws around reasonable accommodations for employees, including:

  1. Refusing to let an employee take a little extra leave for a medical condition.
  2. “100 percent-recovered” policies.
  3. Refusing to be flexible about medical documentation.
  4. Requiring an employee to go out on leave when the employee could work with a reasonable accommodation.

The article, available online here, details examples and insight of how these four miscues could lead businesses to run afoul of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other federal requirements.
