• Determine if an unusual accommodation, such as a comfort animal, will allow an employee to effectively perform the essential job functions
• Respond when an employee seeking accommodation will not provide requested medical documentation
• Reassess current accommodations if the jobsite changes or the employee's needs/condition change
• Apply lessons from case decisions to complex accommodation requests
