Your employer has a duty to make reasonable adjustments to help you at work.
If you have a disability which is not readily apparent to your employer, then making them aware could trigger the duty to make the reasonable adjustments needed.
Not every workplace adjustment will be reasonable. Your employer’s size and level of resources will be a relevant consideration. Reasonable adjustments can range from making physical alteration to the work premises to changing working hours or patterns, for example.
An employer should think outside the box about how best to help its disabled employees. Some employers will seek recommendations from an occupational health adviser about this.
If your employer is failing to make adjustments, the employment team at Vardags can help you to plan a way forward either to secure the reasonable adjustments needed or to seek compensation for disability discrimination.
