Starting work for a new employer raises several questions because of your health history. Think about these questions now rather than put them off. If you wait, decisions may be made for you -- and not necessarily the decisions you'd prefer.
The questions to consider:
- Do you tell about your health condition if you haven't already?
- Do you need an accommodation because of your health to be able to perform your job?
- If the employer offers a choice of benefits, which do you choose?
Start:
- Looking for an advisor.
- Keeping track of information which would be useful if you ever have a claim for discrimination, or if you want to stop working, because of your health.
Don't unknowingly sign away rights.
Make an alert on your calendar to read At Work as soon as you're settled in to the new job. It provides information to make working less stressful and more productive.
Please share how this information is useful to you.
