Triage Focus
Use this brief for protected activity, leave, accommodations, investigations, unsafe conditions, retaliation, and employee-status questions. The employee-facing source topic centers on how to start the request. Keep the analysis tied to workplace claims, protected rights, employer conduct, deadlines, and provable damages rather than general document drafting or deal advice.
Intake Questions to Ask
Ask what right the worker exercised, when the employer learned about it, what changed afterward, whether the worker is still employed, and whether any agency or internal deadline is pending.
Evidence to Request
Request HR complaints, leave requests, accommodation paperwork, policy documents, schedules, discipline, investigation notices, pay records, and communications with management.
Blog-Specific Signals
Key employee-facing signals to translate into intake review: You do not need special words to ask for an accommodation; telling your employer you need a change at work because of a medical condition is enough to start the process; The ADA expects the employer and the employee to work through options in a good-faith exchange known as the interactive process; An employer can turn down a request that would cause undue hardship, but it should still look at other options that would work. Confirm which of these facts are supported by documents and which still need witness or agency corroboration.
Routing Notes
Route based on the underlying right involved: FMLA, ADA, retaliation, whistleblower, OSHA, employee classification, or state-law protection. Use this resource for employment-claims intake, litigation screening, agency-preservation analysis, and dispute evaluation.
