Dear Mr. Shulman:

I am writing to inform you that I am a person with a disability and as such would like to request an accommodation to assist me to perform the essential functions of my job.

The medications I am on are very strong and cause me to have nausea. This nausea is worse immediately after meals. It is so severe that I find I have to lie down for approximately one-half hour after each meal. As a result, I am not able to be at work promptly at 8:30 each morning. It also causes me to be late returning from lunch.

I am confident that with a reasonable accommodation I can perform my job and not have to reduce my hours.

It would seem that the best idea would be for me to start work at 9:00 AM each day and to return from lunch at 1:30PM instead of 1:00 PM. That way the worst of the nausea would not occur while I'm trying to work.

To continue doing all my job tasks I would stay until 6:00PM each evening so that I work a full eight hours each day.

This accommodation would not burden anyone else with any of my duties, and I would continue to perform all my tasks. Plus there would be one additional person on the phones after 5:00PM. I know phone activity starts reducing around 5, but there is still activity until 6:00PM and I would be available to assist with that in addition to completing my own tasks.

If this idea does not work for you, I welcome any ideas that you may have for an accommodation as well.

I would appreciate your response at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
