HR Accommodation Request Checklist
A structured checklist HR teams can use to process accommodation requests consistently.
Helpful?
Document the request date, the specific job function affected, and the proposed accommodation — this creates a consistent audit trail.
Set a target response timeline (many organizations aim for 5–10 business days for an initial response) and communicate it to the employee.
Revisit accommodations periodically rather than treating them as permanent, one-time decisions.
