When Must HR Reasonably Accommodate a Disabled Worker?

Click here to watch this video on YouTube.

In this post, Mr. Robertson discusses when Human Resources must reasonably accommodate a disabled worker. This is the 2nd part in a five-part video series. At its most basic level, the law requires employers to reasonably accommodate a worker with a physical or mental impairment so long as the worker can perform the essential functions of the job. If they don’t, it is a form of disability discrimination and the worker can enforce his or her rights in court.

In this post, Mr. Robertson discusses the most common reason workers get fired in violation of state or federal law. This is the 1st part in a five-part video series. The most common reason is the employer refuses to reasonably accommodate a worker when he or she becomes disabled due to a medical issue. It is a form of disability discrimination. This first video is a basic overview of the laws in place to protect workers who have a physical or mental issue.

How HR Screws Employees Out of Money, Employment Rights & their Jobs

This video is about the four most common tricks that HR uses to cheat their employees.

“Human Resources is there to help the employees, right?” Nope. That is not true and it’s one of the biggest misconceptions in the employment world. HR is at your company to do one thing, protect the company when the human assets (i.e. employees) become a threat.

This is Mr. Robertson’s latest YouTube video about HR, and giving employees information that can help them navigate the complicated world of work. If something strange is happening to you at work, we recommend that you watch all of our videos about HR before you go to complain. Unfortunately, when some employees complain to HR incorrectly, they paint a big target on their back. Here are links to the other videos on HR:

We hope these are helpful.

How to Complain to Human Resources the Right Way

As with all things in life, making a complaint at work is a risk. If you complain to human resources the wrong way, you might get fired (it happens far more often than people think). That is why I took the time to make a video about the correct way to complain to HR.

This video will explain the five things you need to know before you complain about your issue at work. It also covers how HR will react to your complaint and what you should expect if they conduct an “investigation.”
