The Problem

Luísa has a documented spinal condition requiring an ergonomic chair and standing desk option. Her employer refused, saying "we treat everyone equally" and denying the medical accommodation request.

Started with AnyComplaint

Luísa explained her situation. Our AI clarified that "equal treatment" cannot be used to deny reasonable accommodations.

What reason did your employer give for refusing the accommodation?
They said they "treat everyone equally" and can't give special furniture to one person.
That reasoning is legally flawed. Under Articles 85-88 of the Labour Code, employers must provide reasonable accommodations for workers with disabilities. "Equal treatment" means treating different situations appropriately, not identically.

Company Response

After HR consulted with legal, they changed their position.

"Upon further review and legal consultation, we understand our obligations regarding workplace accommodations. We will arrange for the requested ergonomic equipment to be installed at your workstation."

Resolution

Luísa received a proper ergonomic setup. The company also developed an accommodation policy for future requests.

Accommodations provided
Behaald
Ergonomic chair provided
Sit-stand desk installed
Company accommodation policy created
No retaliation or negative treatment
"

Ze dachten dat 'gelijke behandeling' een excuus was. De wet zegt dat werkgevers handicaps moeten accommoderen - zodra ze het juridische risico begrepen, handelden ze binnen weken.
