Q: My ADA accommodation requests were denied by my employer.
My two ADA accommodation requests were denied by my employer. I provided HR with a letter from my mental health provider which stated I would benefit from:
1. "A quiet office space to work while on campus, free from loud noises and sudden unexpected interruptions."
2. "The ability to work from home 2 days per week or more frequently if needed."
My employers response was, "After reviewing the Job Description of _________________, the college is unable to make these accommodations."
I am a disabled veteran who provided a letter from my mental health provider asking on my behalf for these request to mitigate my disability symptoms. I believe my requests are reasonable and would not cause undue hardship on my employer. I'm not sure where to go from here or if this this issue is even worth pursing further.
