Thank you, your advice has ben most helpful. We continue to work through this accommodation. However, the employee has emailed this morning shortly after their work shift started and stated “I will not be in today.” Nothing more. As per your advice above, I believe we could ask if this relates to her accommodated condition. Further, could we ask that if not, is it for a vacation or personal day (which we provide our employees), and if they could please follow our policy of submitting a request and us being able to review it and authorize prior to the work shift, for operational business purposes?

Thank you, we appreciate the guidance while working through this challenging issue. The employee has been booking off for appointments during the 6 hours of work time frame, 1-2 hours which reduces the hours working. While working limited hours and on a gradual return to regular work hours, are we within our rights to ask that the appointments are made outside of work hours? I would also have the same question about allowing vacation or personal time requests if you could please advise.

Good morning, further to this thread, we remain working with our employee under the duty to accommodate a gradual return to regular work hours. There has been a set back, and now a little progress. The employee had provided a new doctors note that stated the employee could work only 4 hours per day indefinitely. We have now received a new doctor note that states a 6 hour daily work schedule but no long term time frame, simply ‘until further notice’. This is positive that more working hours have been proposed but we would like defined timeframes and have suggested in the future the employees healthcare provider provide hours of work progression using a general 6 week period. In addition, we have become aware that the employee has a personal business and they have worked the other job during day time hours. Please note for this instance, they advised us they could not work that day due to their son being ill. The other business info is publicly available on the internet and times for booking their services are publicly noted. I am unsure of how to address this, or if I need to. This adds to the sensitivities and compliance of working through this accommodation plan and we feel trust has been broken. We would appreciate any insight you could provide to help us navigate a process that is compliant and that works for the employee and our operational needs.

Thank you, I very much appreciate the info. It has been helpful. What are the risks to the employer if the employee was out with customers? Again, it was after work hours.
