Guidance on requesting and implementing accommodations and safe transition options to support affected employees during remediation.

Overview and Principles

Accommodations align with legal obligations and organizational values. They protect affected employees and maintain work continuity.

Typical Accommodations

Examples include flexible schedules, telework, temporary role adjustments, modified duties, or reassignment to a safe environment. Accommodations should be reasonable, non-punitive, and reviewed regularly to balance safety with business needs.

Request Process

Employees should know whom to contact, what information to provide, and timelines for decisions. Employers should document requests, preserve confidentiality, and explore alternatives when initial options are not feasible.

Safety and Communication

Communicate plan details to relevant parties while protecting privacy. Provide ongoing safety checks and ensure the harasser’s behavior is addressed separately through investigations and policy enforcement.

Monitoring and Review

Regularly review the effectiveness of accommodations, adjust as needed, and document outcomes to support performance and wellbeing.
