ADA Accommodation and Reassignment Compliance for HR Practitioners · run the interactive process, analyze essential functions, evaluate accommodations, search for reassignment, protect medical information, deny defensibly, prove it
Run accommodation and reassignment under Title I of the ADA as a documented program, not a decision improvised the moment a request lands.
Every control handed to you adopt-ready, from a written accommodation policy and prompt request recognition through a documented interactive process, honest essential-function analyses, effectiveness-tested accommodations, a reassignment search built to the correct circuit standard, disability-related inquiries held to the permitted stage, medical information stored separately, evidenced denials that keep the process open, and a per-request record that reconstructs the reasoning.
Ready in a weekend, not a quarter.

Here is the honest situation. Here is the honest situation. Accommodation work is where an HR function is most exposed and least scripted. Title I of the ADA is short, but it turns on judgment about a specific person and a specific job, and the case law does not read the same in every circuit, most sharply on reassignment, where the circuits genuinely split over whether a qualified employee must be placed in a vacant role noncompetitively or only allowed to compete for it. A borrowed template cannot make these calls, because it cannot decide whether a function is truly essential, whether an accommodation is effective against how your operation actually runs, or whether a safety concern meets the direct threat standard. What defends the program is not the decision itself but the record behind it: an individualized, evidenced, contemporaneous file that shows a good-faith process rather than a conclusion reached first and dressed up afterward. Many programs have a policy in a handbook no manager reads and a file that holds a one-line denial, and that is exactly the gap an investigator finds. This is educational content on compliance practice, not legal advice for a specific matter.

This Kit removes the guesswork. It is ADA accommodation and reassignment practice written as adopt-ready controls, so requests are recognized without magic words and logged the day they are heard, the interactive process runs as a documented two-way exchange, essential functions are named honestly and tied to a reason, accommodations are tested for effectiveness before a choice is made, reassignment is treated as the last resort and searched against the correct circuit standard, medical information is asked for narrowly and stored separately, denials are evidenced and keep the process open, and every decision sits on a per-request record that shows it was individualized.

Grounded in real ADA practice, including Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended, the EEOC regulations at 29 CFR Part 1630, the EEOC enforcement guidance on reasonable accommodation and on disability-related inquiries, the qualified-individual and essential-functions tests, the reasonable-accommodation and undue-hardship standards, the direct threat individualized-assessment factors, the strict confidentiality regime for medical information, the reassignment circuit split, and the Supreme Court holding in US Airways, Inc. v. Barnett on bona fide seniority systems.

Defend the record, do not improvise the decision
An accommodation program that lives in an unread handbook and a file that holds a one-line denial carries an unmanaged charge-and-litigation tail, and the fix is not a longer policy but a documented, individualized process that a reviewer can follow after the fact. This Kit builds the interactive process governance, the essential-function and accommodation analysis, the reassignment search scoped to the correct circuit standard, the medical-information confidentiality controls, the evidenced denials, and the program governance and training that keep the program consistent across every manager and location.

What one control looks like

This is the opening control, where the program begins. All 18 are built to this depth.

ADAACC-1 Establish a written accommodation policy and request pathway INTERACTIVE PROCESS GOVERNANCE
Put this control in place

Require [your organization name] to publish and maintain a written reasonable accommodation policy that states the duty to accommodate qualified individuals with disabilities absent undue hardship, explains that an employee may request an accommodation without any special form or legal wording, and names the accommodation owner responsible for handling requests.

Control note.

Because the ADA requires no magic words, the policy must make clear that a plain statement of a medical barrier counts as a request.

Evidence a reviewer examines
  • The current accommodation policy with an approval date and version history
  • Published request pathway showing how and to whom an employee submits a request
  • Communication records confirming the policy was distributed to managers and staff
  • Register of the named accommodation owner and any deputies
Common finding they raise: The policy is filed in a handbook no manager reads, so requests are still handled ad hoc by whoever first hears them.

Why this is not another template pack

  • The record is the defense. A one-line denial proves nothing and reads as a conclusion reached first. This tells you how to recognize, engage, analyze, evaluate, search, protect, deny and document, for every control, so the file reconstructs the reasoning.
  • The specifics built in. The no-magic-words trigger, the essential-functions regulatory factors, the effectiveness test and its limits, the direct threat four-factor assessment, the reassignment circuit split with a protective default, the Barnett seniority rule, and the ADA confidentiality exceptions are written into the controls, not left generic.
  • Built on real ADA practice, principle-level and evidence-first. The controls hold as accommodation volumes rise and remote work reshapes what counts as essential, and they flag exactly where a decision needs the circuit rule or counsel review.

Who buys this

HR managers, employee relations specialists, accommodation and leave administrators, and in-house counsel who own the accommodation process and must show that each decision was individualized, evidenced and confidential rather than improvised.

By the end of the weekend you will have
✓  An adopt-ready control for all 18 areas
✓  A completed control matrix
✓  The evidence an investigator and an auditor examine
✓  A written accommodation policy, a documented interactive process, and honest essential-function analyses tied to a reason
✓  An effectiveness-tested accommodation approach, a reassignment search built to the correct circuit standard, disability-related inquiries held to the permitted stage, medical information stored separately, and evidenced denials that keep the process open
✓  A readiness percentage and a fix list

Common questions

Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.

Does it cover the whole program? Yes. Interactive process governance, essential functions and accommodation analysis, reassignment search, medical information and confidentiality, denials and undue hardship, and program governance and training each have their own controls with their own evidence.

How does it handle the reassignment circuit split? It does not pretend there is one nationwide rule. A control has you determine and apply the reassignment standard of the circuit where each decision is made, default to the more protective noncompetitive placement where you operate across circuits or the law is unsettled, honor any bona fide seniority system under Barnett, and document the search either way.

Is this legal advice? No. This Kit is educational content on compliance practice, grounded in the ADA, 29 CFR Part 1630 and the EEOC guidance. Adapt the controls to your own jurisdictions and workforce and have counsel review your policy and your legally sensitive decisions before they are finalized.

Do not let an unread policy and a one-line denial become the gap an investigator finds, or a casually disclosed diagnosis become a confidentiality violation you cannot defend.
Every control is fast to adopt with the Kit. It is instant, and it is guaranteed.
Add it to your cart and be ready this weekend.
