Working from Home Can Be a Reasonable Accommodation

12/27/2022

 
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has settled a lawsuit alleging that a workplace facility management company, ISS Facility Services, refused to grant reasonable accommodations to one of its employees who suffered from a disability.  The EEOC’s lawsuit alleged that, for months, ISS required its employees to work remotely four days per week due to COVID.  After that requirement ended, the employee in the EEOC's lawsuit asked for ISS to permit her to work from home for two days per week and to allow her additional breaks while at work.  Despite permitting other employees in the same job as her to work from home, ISS refused her requested reasonable accommodations.  Such alleged conduct is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as amended, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of an employee’s disability or requests for accommodations due to a disability. See EEOC v. ISS Facility Services, Inc., Case No. 1:21-cv-03708-SCJ-RDC (N.D. Ga.).
