Reasonable Adjustment
Going back to work after a long absence due to illness or disability can be traumatic and challenging to both employer and employee. We can make it easier for all concerned, by advising on what reasonable adjustment should be made.
What is a reasonable adjustment?
The Disability Discrimination Act requires employers to make reasonable adjustment for disabled employees. Most people with disabilities need no adjustment at all in order to do their job, but sometimes an adjustment would help. It might be a minor change of duties or varying the company sickness absence policy for that individual, changes to a workstation or computer, or a phased return to work after illness etc.
How can we help?
We will talk to all involved, and give an independent assessment of what, if any, reasonable adjustment is needed, then we can help you implement it, drawing on government money to pay for many adjustments.
When someone becomes disabled, or acquires an injury, it is in everyone's interests to help him or her to remain productive and at work. Handled well, the result is a contented employee, who continues to be an asset to the employer, and remains financially independent. Handled badly, it can lead to prolonged sickness absence, acrimony, and costly litigation. Let us help you to get it right, every time.
We offer expert advice and practical assistance, on a case by case basis. Our aim is to enable employees who have a disability, or who suffer a personal injury, to remain at work and to perform well in their jobs. Reasonable adjustments usually do not cost anything, but litigation does, so let us give you the best professional advice. We can take the strain out of going back to work.
