Question

You are a manager at a company that provides tutoring services to high school students. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, students came to the office and met with employee tutors in person, but most of the tutoring moved online in 2020. In light of this change, and to facilitate social distancing in the office, your company instituted a work-at-home policy. Under the policy, tutors could work at home up to four days a week.

In early 2023, the Director of Human Resources revoked the work-at-home policy and required all tutors to return to the office in person. She based her decision on studies that show that in-person tutoring is more effective than online tutoring.

Several employees have claimed that they should be able to keep tutoring predominantly online because they have attention deficit disorder (ADD) and are more easily distracted in the office than when they are able to tutor online from their homes. Alternatively, if they have to return to the office full time, they would like offices with closed doors rather than cubicles

Write a memo to the Director explaining the legal framework governing workplace accommodations and applying that framework to the employees' requests. Your memo should include a recommendation as to whether she should make the requested accommodations and the reasoning behind it.
