What if You’re Disabled & Your Employer Refuses Reasonable Adjustments? How to Complain!

Employment Rights Online: The Podcast

Hi there

We hope you are able to use your employment rights to support your right to fair treatment at work. This is your legal entitlement.

Last week, we looked at your employment rights as a disabled person and we looked at your employer’s responsibilities to make reasonable adjustments for you at work, to support you to remain in your job; and, to support you to work effectively in your job.

In this week’s episode, we look at your employment rights if your employer refuses to either accept your experiences of depression as a debilitating illness and then refuses to make reasonable adjustments for you. We’re going to talk about what you can do and the actions you can take, if your employer refuses to support you.

YOUR FREE DOWNLOADS

Accompanying this week’s podcast, is a number of downloads that we have created for you, to help you approach your employer to request meetings to talk about your request for reasonable adjustments. The downloads available are:

· A template of a letter you can send to your employer to request a follow up meeting to discuss your request for reasonable adjustments;

· A template of a grievance letter you can send to your employer to raise a complaint; and,

· A template letter for you to appeal against the findings of your employer’s investigation into your grievance.

You will also see links for helpful services where you can get advice and support with any action you may have to take, to support your request for reasonable adjustments at work.

And finally, you will see the following email: [e-mail] which you can use to join our waiting list for our 'Bullying and Harassment course', which will launch in March 2022.
