Amazon makes it difficult for disabled employees to work from home

Amazon is tightening its rules for disabled employees who want to work from home, as the company pushes for a full return to the office five days a week starting in January.Now, disabled employees face tougher steps to get approval for remote work. “We understand that this is going to be a transition and we’re working with our employees to make it as easy as possible,” Amazon spokesperson Margaret Callahan said in a statement. Here’s how it works: Disabled employees talk to “accommodation consultants” who review their medical information and past work setups. Under US law, employers must offer “reasonable accommodations” to disabled employees, like reserved parking or special equipment.
