International Precedent on Reasonable Accommodation: ILO The International Labour Organization (ILO), in its recommendation on HIV/AIDS and the world of work, defines ‘reasonable accommodation’ as: “any modification or adjustment to a job or to the workplace that is reasonably practicable and enables a person living with HIV or AIDS to have access to, or participate or advance in, employment”. According to ILO, the need for workplace accommodation may arise in a variety of situations, but four categories of workers were chosen for the guide: workers with disabilities, workers living with HIV and AIDS, pregnant workers and those with family responsibilities, workers who hold a particular religion or belief. ILO Advocacy for Reasonable Accommodation: The aforementioned categories of workers come across different kinds of barriers at work which may result in either loss of employment or lack of access to employment. The provision of reasonable accommodation can ensure the address of these barriers and thereby contribute to greater workplace equality, diversity, and inclusion. Envisioning a Reasonable Accommodation: It could include a modified working environment, shortened or staggered working hours, additional support from supervisory staff and reduced work commitments are ways in which accommodation can be made. Suitable changes in recruitment processes — allowing scribes during written tests or sign language interpreters during interviews. |
