To whom should an employee request accommodation to perform essential job functions?

The correct approach for an employee seeking accommodation to perform essential job functions is to request assistance from the Leave Management Section (LMS). This section typically handles matters related to employee leave, accommodations due to medical conditions, or situations that may require adjustments to work duties.

Requesting an accommodation is a specific process that often involves formal documentation and review to assess the needs and potential solutions. The Leave Management Section is equipped to handle the nuances of regulations regarding disability accommodations and employment law, ensuring that the request is processed appropriately and in compliance with legal standards.

While Human Resources, a direct supervisor, and employee wellness programs may play supportive roles, the LMS is specifically designed for managing and facilitating accommodations and ensuring that employees receive the necessary support for their work environment.
