Workplace support

Workplace accommodations in Ireland: prepare a clear request

Describe the barrier, the work affected and the adjustment you want considered. Avoid relying on generic compensation figures, guaranteed response times or a diagnosis alone.

What to record

• The task, environment or communication barrier.
• The practical effect on work.
• The adjustment proposed and why it may help.
• Any relevant professional information you choose or need to provide.
• A reasonable review point.

Keep health information proportionate and use the employer's current process. If the request is refused or the situation is disputed, obtain current advice from HR, a representative, IHREC, the WRC or a qualified adviser. Divergent.ie does not predict complaint outcomes, legal costs or compensation.
