ADA Accommodation Letter to Employee

Letters Kate

ADA accommodation (American disability act) accommodation allows disabled workers to apply for accommodation by the company. This type of accommodation can only be given to those employees who have some kind of disability. So, qualified people apply for it.

After the request of an employee regarding a place to live has been approved, an employer writes a letter to the employee and lets him know that his application has been approved. This letter brings news for an employee that now he will be able to get a free place to live without paying rent.

When to write an ADA accommodation letter to an employee?

Employers can write this letter when:

  1. An employee working in the company proves that he has some sort of disability
  2. There are some work restrictions on the employee due to his disability and he needs the company to be slightly flexible.
  3. There is a need to ensure that no discrimination is being shown to those employees who have some sort of disability

Useful points:

  1. Give the background of the situation by telling the employee that the company has reviewed the application submitted by the employee and then has come to the conclusion that the employee needs accommodation.
  2. Mention the work restrictions for the employee that the company has identified based on his/her disability and then provide the details of the accommodation.
  3. Let him know that the decision has been taken to show compliance with the American Disability Act.
