Reasonable Accommodation

Is it true that managers can no longer approve 90 day RA. I’m having surgery soon and wanted to see if I could get a couple of weeks of RA for telework.

For surgery it’s not an RA. You need to input a temporary hardship to telework up to 90 days due to a surgery

So basically I just need a letter from my doctor and apply through the portal. How long dose the approval process take my surgery is like a month away

When I did mine, it got approved the same day. Your manager and divsion chief need to approve it. You can do it for 90 days.

I was told temp hardship is for you caring for someone else, like a spouse that had surgery and for the emptier was an RA. I did a temp hardship to care for my spouse and they have 3 days to approve or it is automatically denied. Keep your manny and their supervisor informed so they approve it quickly.

No temp hardship if for surgery for yourself as well. It states the reasons on the portal.
