8 “Current Events” Home Business Politics Technology Living World Finding: Employers want to provide accommodations so they can retain valued and qualified employees.

9 “Current Events” Results
Home Business Politics Technology Living World Results Of the employers who called JAN for accommodation information and solutions, most were doing so to retain or promote (83%) a current employee. On average (including those persons who had just been given a job offer or who were newly hired), the employees had been with the company about seven years, with an average wage of about $14 for those paid by the hour, or an average annual salary of about $51,400. In addition, the individuals tended to be fairly well-educated, with 55% having a college degree or higher.

10 “Current Events” Home Business Politics Technology Living World Situation: An insurance specialist with post-traumatic stress disorder had difficulty handling stress and controlling his emotions. The employee’s physician stated that these limitations were due to his mental health impairment and the side effects of his diabetes. His job performance and attendance were declining. Solution: As a reasonable accommodation, the employer allowed the employee to use a service animal. Reported Benefit: By making this accommodation the company was able to retain a well-qualified employee. Reported Cost: $0.

11 “Current Events” Home Business Politics Technology Living World Finding: Most employers report no cost or low cost for accommodating employees with disabilities.

12 “Current Events” Results
Home Business Politics Technology Living World Results Over half of accommodations (59%) were made at no cost. Of the 36% who experienced a one-time cost to make an accommodation, the typical cost of accommodating an employee was $500. Only 25 (3%) said the accommodation resulted in an ongoing, annual cost to the company and 9 (1%) said the accommodation required a combination of one-time and annual costs.

13 “Current Events” Home Business Politics Technology Living World Situation: A quality control manager had trouble sitting for long periods of time due to chronic pain.

16 “Current Events” Home Business Politics Technology Living World Situation: A bank employee with fragrance sensitivity was having problems working due to irritants such as perfume and candles.

The employer also purchased an air purifier and provided all employees with education packets. Reported Benefit: The employer reported that the accommodation was extremely effective because the "employee is able to work without worrying about getting sick from strong fragrances and odors." Reported Cost: $200

17 “Current Events” Home Business Politics Technology Living World The study results consistently showed that the benefits employers receive from making workplace accommodations far outweigh the low cost.
