[Job-Discussions] Questions about contract and contract to hire jobs from a blindness perspective and reasonable accommodations

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

Well, this is an interesting question. Reasonable accommodations apply to employees, or perspective employees, but don't know about contractors. Who would provide the accommodation, the staffing agency, or the employer company. Also, these things are usually short term, and come up quickly, so logistically, accommodations would be hard to work out.

Hi,

How much success have you had with employment, if you accepted a contract or contract to hire job through a staffing agency? How did that work out for your long-term success, especially in terms of things like accessibility issues and reasonable accommodations?

Thank you,
Mike
