Chronic Condition Accommodation

Meaning

Chronic Condition Accommodation is the essential modification or adjustment to a job or work environment that allows an employee with a persistent, long-term health issue, including complex hormonal disorders, to perform the essential functions of their position effectively. These accommodations are designed to mitigate the functional limitations caused by the condition without fundamentally altering the job’s core requirements. Examples include flexible scheduling for managing fatigue or time off for necessary medical treatments and monitoring. This provision is a cornerstone of inclusive employment practices.
