Workplace Harassment Legal Rights

Summary

Under the ADA, your request for reasonable accommodations must remain confidential, shared only with those necessary to implement them, like HR and relevant supervisors. HR should not require you to sign accommodation paperwork in front of the principal if it creates a hostile environment. If you face harassment or a hostile work environment, consider seeking legal advice or contacting employment attorneys for guidance.
