[Job-Discussions] Inaccessible timekeeping systems in the workplace

[David Sexton]

Employers have to make accommodations, but sometimes, we might not like the
accommodations they choose. We can be part of the choice, but in the end,
legally, things don't have to be accessible exactly the way we'd like them.

Someone in legal correct me. I'd like to be wrong.
