If an employer has more than five employees, they are required to accommodate physical or mental disabilities. An employer must provide reasonable accommodation to apply for jobs and to perform essential job functions, unless it would cause an undue hardship on the employer. Reasonable accommodations can include changing job duties or work schedules, providing mechanical aids, or reassignment to a vacant position.   It is unlawful for an employer to fail to engage in a timely, good faith, interactive process with an individual seeking accommodation. The point of the process is to remove barriers that keep people from performing jobs that they could do with some form of accommodation.
