Job Accommodation Network Offers Tool to Help Employers and Employees With Workplace Accommodations

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), which recognizes the contributions of people with disabilities to the workplace and economy as well as raising awareness about disability employment issues and ensure that people with disabilities have access to good jobs.

In the spirit of NDEAM, the U.S. Department of Labor has introduced the “Situations and Solutions Finder,” a new tool aimed at aiding employers and employees with disabilities in understanding a variety of workplace accommodations. The Situations and Solutions Finder is an AskJAN feature that provides access to more than 700 accommodation scenarios shared by Job Accommodation Network users that employers and workers with disabilities can explore.
