Job accommodation request form requirement for an employee with a known disability

SF 3724 requires employers with 15+ employees (effective July 1, 1994), employment agencies, and labor organizations to provide a standardized job accommodation request form to employees who disclose a known disability needing accommodation. The bill mandates that employers use this form to initiate an interactive process, helping identify the employee’s disability-related limitations and potential reasonable accommodations. The form must allow employees to specify their needs, and the commissioner will develop and distribute the required form. This change amends Minnesota Statutes section 363A.08 to formalize the process for requesting accommodations under the state’s anti-discrimination law.
