What accommodation would be reasonable? A computer programmer experienced migraines that were triggered by his overhead fluorescent lighting and the noise level around the office cubicles. Provide him with a noise canceling headset, disable the fluorescent light above his cubicle, and provide natural task lighting. Provide him with paid leave and allow him to depart whenever he has a migraine. Provide him with his own office and purchase him whatever lighting he prefers.

Good Effort BUT Please Try Again An employer has to offer a reasonable accommodation that will meet the individuals needs. If there are alternative solutions to the problem, the employer may choose which one to provide. You may not insist on a specific accommodation because it suites your personal preference.

Come on… You can do it! Although there are a variety of short term disability programs that can assist people who leave work for an extended period of time, this situation would likely warrant the use of sick time if available. Providing flexible unpaid leave once any benefit time was exhausted might be another accommodation for this situation.
