Is an employer required to implement a fragrance policy as an accommodation?
JAN discusses the implementation of a fragrance policy as an option to consider when addressing possible accommodations. An employer could choose to make a request that employees voluntarily refrain from wearing fragrances or the employer could go as far as creating a policy that requires employees to refrain. An employer has the right to decide how far is reasonable when implementing accommodations. Employers who have concerns about the legalities of implementing a fragrance policy as an accommodation should consult an appropriate legal professional.
