Adjustment means they can make exceptions if your disability requires it. The job requirement part depends on the reasons, eg if being present is an inherent part of the job, (it would be impossible to be a hairdresser via zoom), then the adjustment can be refused. But if itâs only for social reasons, there may be some flexibility. You donât know until you ask! Itâs also possible that the employer can make the adjustment can be made at the workplace. For example if a person canât use stairs, and building doesnât have a lift, then make sure they are situated only on ground floor and all meetings are held in accessible rooms etc. I know itâs not always easy to approach employer and some of them might be dismissive of requests. But⌠if itâs a choice between suffer and maybe have to quit work, or ask and possibly get some accomodations thereâs no harm at all in asking.
