Rocket Lawyer says 15-employee employers should review accommodation rules and handbook policies to stay compliant and handle requests consistently.
- On Friday, July 24, 2026, Rocket Lawyer advised small businesses to review accessibility policies, noting that Disability Pride Month offers an opportunity to evaluate workplace inclusivity and support structures.
- Under Title I, employers with 15 or more employees must comply with federal standards; state disability discrimination laws may apply to smaller employers depending on business location.
- Rocket Lawyer recommends updating employee handbooks to ensure accommodation procedures remain current and accessible. Train supervisors to recognize and respond appropriately when employees request accommodations.
- Proactively updating policies removes guesswork from difficult situations, preventing team confusion. Small, clear changes ensure managers handle accommodation requests fairly and consistently.
