ADA applies to many work injuries

ADA applies to many work injuries

FYI, many work injuries meet the threshold of substantially limiting a major life activity. A few states, such as CA, have a lower threshold of only limiting a major life activity

An injury does not need to be permanent or at MMI to qualify. ADA has covered temporary or episodic disabilities since 2008.

It is common for employers to attempt to push people out of the job by denying doable accommodations (or restrictions) and having them exhaust protected leave.

Generally, employees are expected to do essential duties with these accommodations and accommodations can’t cause an undue hardship. Undue hardship is actual hardship- not just inconvenience or an additional expense.

AskJan.org is a great resource about job accommodations

Here is guidance from the EEOC https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/enforcement-guidance-workers-compensation-and-ada

If you are having problems, talk to an employment attorney. Some people with industrial work accidents have a WC attorney and an employment attorney. Ideally they work together

Good luck!

Are there Handmaids in The Testaments

I’m noticed the handmaid doll was gone. Did Gilead do away with having Handmaids by the time the Testaments started?

If so, how are they addressing the fertility crisis?

Separate thought:

I think Hannah might be a lot older than she seems especially since she can’t read a calendar. Maybe whatever is causing fertility issues in that universe is also causing women to never get a period or it is delayed.
