[blindlaw] HR and the Interactive Process

[kelby carlson]

I am working for a county district attorney. We are working on getting me necessary accommodations. However, human resources is insisting that they, rather than the DA, get to decide what accommodations are reasonable. Essentially we have put in a request and HR has not contacted me in several weeks, and refuses to move forward with the process. Does anybody know ADA protocols with respect to who engages in the interactive process for getting accommodations? HR is not equipped to determine the essential functions of this job or which accommodations will work.
