[humanser] H IP P a and paid readers in the workplace

Tue Jun 21 21:28:27 UTC 2016

Hi Jazmin,

Because I am a new employee and still on probation I have not accrued time off therefore I will not be attending the convention. Sorry, Siri should have called you Yasmin

I am wondering if you would please email me a condensed version of this email to my work email address. I mean the condensed version of what you were saying about H I PPA and pay readers, sorry.

Here is my work email address:Lisa.irvimg at riinternational.com please use all lowercase letters.

You have been incredibly supportive thank you so much!

From,
Lisa Irving

Under the ADA, and Title one, the employer is responsible for accommodations.  with Sense your suggestions were refused, then the ball would be in their court.  Write down your ideas, and make sure that you can't come up with a another way, or that the accommodations are necessary, which in your case, I have no doubt that they are; your savvy.  But, I'm covering all bases.  Use the job accommodation network, (JAN) and the JAN letter to help you.  I think I sent it to you, but if you need it, then ask, and I'll send it again.

I brought up the idea of hiring someone to read for me to hours a week I only work 26 hours a week. I have someone in mind someone who I've started working with on stuff outside of work that is I have paid someone to help me with personal stuff. My supervisor took it to her boss and basically it was to be towed under the auspice is that H I PPA regulations would be violated.
