Workplace Accommodations and Human Rights
Because Your Ability to Work Should Never Be Compromised.
Every employee has the right to a fair and inclusive workplace. At Achkar Law, we are dedicated to helping you understand and protect your rights to workplace accommodations and ensure that you are not subjected to human rights violations.
What Are Workplace Accommodations?
Workplace accommodations are adjustments or modifications provided by an employer to enable employees with disabilities or other needs to perform their job duties effectively. These accommodations can include:
- Flexible Work Hours: Adjusting start and end times to accommodate medical appointments or other needs.
- Modified Duties: Changing job tasks to suit the employee’s abilities.
- Ergonomic Workstations: Providing specialized equipment or furniture.
- Remote Work Options: Allowing employees to work from home as needed.
- Accessible Facilities: Ensuring the workplace is accessible to employees with mobility issues.
Recognizing Human Rights Violations
Human rights violations in the workplace can take many forms, including:
- Discrimination: Unfair treatment based on race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics.
- Harassment: Unwelcome comments or actions that create a hostile work environment.
- Retaliation: Punishing an employee for asserting their rights or reporting violations.
- Failure to Accommodate: Not providing reasonable adjustments for employees with disabilities or other needs.

- Request Accommodations: You can ask your employer for necessary adjustments to perform your job effectively.
- Be Free from Discrimination: You should not be treated unfairly based on protected characteristics.
