A:
Your employer can establish rules regarding parking on their property, including designating specific handicap spots for employee use. This can be done to manage parking efficiently and ensure that there are enough spaces available for all who need them.
However, these rules should not infringe upon your rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA requires that reasonable accommodations are made for employees with disabilities, and this includes providing accessible parking spaces that meet your needs.
If you feel that the designated spots are not sufficient or appropriate, you can discuss your concerns with your employer. It may be helpful to explain your specific needs and how the current arrangement affects you. Your employer has a responsibility to provide reasonable accommodations, so a dialogue can often lead to a satisfactory resolution for both parties.
