Reasonable Adjustments for ADHD

Employment Tribunal awards compensation for an employers failure to make adjustments in the probation period

In this episode 265 of the podcast I am covering a recent case decided by the Employment Tribunal where an employee was awarded compensation after the employer failed to make reasonable adjustments in the probation period.

The case of Ms Khorram v Capgemini emphasises the importance of effectively managing probation periods and the requirement to make reasonable adjustments for employees with neurodivergent conditions.

 

In this episode of the podcast I cover:

• When you need to consider reasonable adjustments
• What reasonable adjustments to consider for an employee with ADHD
• Why probation periods matter
• When to obtain medical support and/or an occupational health assessment
• Why compensation for Ms Khorram was limited by the Tribunal

 

Key takeaways:

Employers need to ensure managers are trained and aware of the importance of following occupational health advice and making reasonable adjustments for an employee who is placed at a disadvantage at work due to their disability.

You need to have good probation processes and regular communctaion in place.
