Delayed Accommodation Legal Recourse
Summary
Employers must provide reasonable accommodations unless it causes undue hardship. Delays in accommodation can be seen as adverse actions, potentially violating the ADA and NYSHRL. Employees may sue if delays cause significant hardship. Remedies include reinstatement, back pay, compensatory damages, and legal fees. Cases like McMillan v. City of New York and Hernandez v. Intl Bus. Machines Corp highlight the importance of timely accommodations. If a comparator received immediate accommodation, it strengthens the case. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation
