[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 754128, member: 18044"] The accommodation (or possibly accommodation[B]s[/B]) can take many forms depending on the particulars of the situation. As always, neither I nor you know the details of the case so we can't be too specific in our replies now can we? UPS is obligated by Law and Contract to make whatever changes are [U]reasonable[/U] so that the ADA employee can be an otherwise normal productive employee. That may involve giving him a route with lots of bathrooms ( of which there are many such routes), or allowing him extra time to use bathrooms, or extra travel time to them, or allowing him to take his lunches and breaks at different hours as needed, or whatever, depending on the requirements of his situation. These accommodations are actually a fairly simple thing to figure out as long as the person doing the figuring isn't hostile to the process to begin with. No need for UPS to buy porta-pottys. The employee [U]may[/U] choose to attend to some or all of his medical situation in the back of a package car, but I doubt that UPS could [U]require[/U] him to do so. Just as I doubt they can require any other employee to pee in a bottle in the back of the package car. OSHA would be displeased. [/QUOTE]
