Question
Can I change my workplace schedule?
23 December 2023. Related: Adherence, All topics.
I take my medications in the evening due to the side effects and it allows me to sleep properly. I have a work schedule coming up that will be a hinderance and would probably cause me to stop taking my medication and I also need to keep the job to pay bills. I am doing perfectly fine with my medication and would not want to change it. Will I qualify for a workplace accommodation to have my work schedule changed to morning?
Answer
Hi, how are you doing?
This will depend on the country you are in and your employment.
In the UK this would be supported by occupational health and you would not be required to change your working schedule.
I do not know how other countries/employers would acknowledge this request.
Are you able to discuss with your employer/occupational health about accommodations that can be made for you to continue with your treatment?
