ADA & ACCOMMODATION MANAGEMENT

Keep the interactive process moving without losing the human conversation.

InfraNet connects requests, job context, documentation, dialogue, option review, decisions, implementation, and follow-up while authorized people evaluate disability, qualification, accommodation, and undue-hardship questions.

THE PROCESS STARTS BEFORE THE FORM

An accommodation need may appear inside another employee event.

A request may emerge through a medical restriction, leave discussion, performance conversation, workplace injury, pregnancy-related need, return-to-work plan, schedule issue, or direct employee statement.

InfraNet helps bring the potential need to authorized HR review without asking managers or the system to make the determination.

THE INTERACTIVE-PROCESS PATH

A visible process with room for real dialogue.

The workflow organizes work and evidence while preserving judgment, flexibility, and individual assessment.

01

Recognize

Capture a direct request, restriction, statement, or connected signal.

02

Respond

Address immediate needs, acknowledge the request, and assign an owner.

03

Understand

Gather job context, limitations, documentation, and employee perspective.

04

Explore

Discuss possible adjustments, alternatives, feasibility, and open questions.

05

Decide

Authorized people evaluate and document the individualized outcome.

06

Support

Implement, communicate, monitor effectiveness, and revisit when needed.

1 · CAPTURE THE NEED

Let managers report the signal without turning them into eligibility reviewers.

The first step is often operational: what the employee shared, what work is affected, whether an immediate adjustment may be needed, and who should follow up.

Direct employee request or question
Restriction or return-to-work information
Manager-observed difficulty or employee statement
Connected leave, injury, pregnancy, or performance event
POTENTIAL ACCOMMODATION INTAKE
What did the employee share?
Employee asked whether a modified start time may be possible during ongoing treatment.

Operational intake avoids unnecessary medical detail and routes sensitive information to approved roles.

Illustrative interface — facts require validation.

2 · BUILD SHARED CONTEXT

Understand the person’s limitation and the work—not just the request label.

The process can connect employee input, essential functions, schedule, environment, existing practices, restrictions, documentation, and manager knowledge while limiting sensitive access.

Job context informs discussion. It does not decide the outcome.Authorized reviewers evaluate the individual facts and applicable requirements.

3 · KEEP DOCUMENTATION IN THE PROCESS

Documentation is one input—not the entire interactive process.

InfraNet can track what was requested, delivery, receipt, authorized review, questions, follow-up, and access without treating a document as an automatic approval or denial.

A

Determine need

Authorized HR decides what information is appropriate for the individualized review.

B

Request

Record the approved request, date, delivery method, and employee communication.

C

Review

Limit access, preserve questions, and coordinate appropriate clarification.

D

Connect

Keep relevant limitations and work context available to authorized decision-makers.

4 · PRESERVE THE DIALOGUE

The interactive process is a sequence of communication and review.

InfraNet keeps outreach, meetings, employee input, manager context, follow-up questions, options, and commitments on one timeline so the process can continue through handoffs or new information.

The employee remains part of the process.The system supports coordination; it does not replace direct communication or individualized consideration.
5 · EXPLORE AND REVIEW OPTIONS

Compare possible adjustments without reducing the decision to a score.

Options, employee input, operational considerations, open questions, implementation needs, and authorized review remain visible side by side.

6 · DOCUMENT THE HUMAN DECISION

The outcome needs an owner, rationale, communication, and implementation plan.

InfraNet preserves the authorized decision and the process supporting it without making legal, disability, qualification, or undue-hardship determinations.

Illustrative interface — customer authority controls the outcome.

7 · IMPLEMENT AND FOLLOW UP

Approval is not the end of the accommodation process.

The organization still needs to communicate the plan, prepare the manager, implement the adjustment, protect confidentiality, check effectiveness, respond to change, and revisit when appropriate.

Implement

Translate the authorized outcome into clear operational steps and owners.

Check effectiveness

Confirm whether the adjustment is working for the employee and the role.

Revisit

Bring changes, new information, or concerns back into authorized review.

KEEP CONNECTED EVENTS VISIBLE

Accommodation work may intersect with leave, injury, performance, and return to work.

01

Leave

Keep related FMLA, state leave, paid leave, and schedule activity connected but distinct.

02

Injury and claims

Connect restrictions, claim coordination, and return-to-work activity for authorized review.

03

Performance and conduct

Preserve timing and separate issues without converting overlap into a conclusion.

04

Retaliation-sensitive follow-up

Keep later actions and concerns visible to authorized reviewers when appropriate.
