What are my obligations as the employer if an employee does disclose disability?
Once an employee has disclosed a disability, you are required, as the employer, to consider appropriate responses, including training or work related adjustments, to accommodate the employee with disability. Remember that state and federal laws prohibit discriminating against someone because of their disability.
