Hi
I was on FMLA for 3 months and a 1 month leave extension through an ADA acommodation.
My 1 month extension has ended and my physician has requested an ADA accomodation for a temporary work from home accomodation that would end on 04/2023. 5 months from now in order for therapy and medication to fully take effect.
A 3rd party company sent in the request to my employer and the HR leave specialist forwarded that to my supervisor/manager.
I found out through another supervisor (who is my friend) that my direct supervisor denied my WFH accomodation request. I am waiting to hear official word from my HR leave specialist.
My department has several different locations spread across the US and there are full time employees, that have the same job desciription as I do, that work from home. A good amount of them work on site and also a lot of them work from home currently.
My specific site in the department has 90% of the employees working onsite with 10% of the employees working from home on a per diem status.
So I'm not understanding why my supervisor, who is also my manager, is denying my request for a 5 month temporary work from home accomodation when there are a good amount of employees, with the same exact job description and license as I do, working from home.
What options do I have at this point as an employee with a confirmed disability that falls under ADA?
Thanks
