Work Accommodation Clause Samples
The Work Accommodation clause outlines the employer's obligation to provide reasonable adjustments or modifications to the workplace or job duties for employees with disabilities or specific needs. In practice, this may involve altering work schedules, providing assistive devices, or modifying physical workspaces to ensure accessibility. The core function of this clause is to ensure equal employment opportunities and compliance with legal requirements, thereby supporting employees who might otherwise be unable to perform their job effectively due to their circumstances.

Such leave shall not exceed thirty (30) working days in total for the bargaining unit in any calendar year. The granting of such leaves shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Parties agree to meet to discuss and resolve issues concerning said accommodation files. It is acknowledged that the Employer, the Union, and the employees all have a responsibility to accommodate disabled employees who return to work.
