Access to work
Last updated:Where a potential or current employee has a long-term disability as defined under the Equality Act 2010 (the person does not have to be registered disabled), assistance is available through a government Access to Work Scheme.
The employee must make the claim supported by their Manager. Their disability or health condition must affect their ability to do their job or mean they have to pay work-related costs. For example, special computer equipment or travel costs because they cannot use public transport. A mental health condition must affect their ability to do their job. It must also mean they need support to:
-
start a new job
-
reduce absence from work
-
stay in work
