JAN Releases Accommodation and Compliance Series Publication – Workplace Accommodations: Low Cost, High Impact

Posted by JAN Tech on September 1, 2011 under Accommodations, JAN News | Be the First to Comment

This publication provides annually updated research findings from JAN and address the costs and benefits of job accommodations. Employers in the JAN study reported that a high percentage (56%) of accommodations cost absolutely nothing to make, while the rest typically cost only $500. Data remain consistent, but show a drop in the cost of accommodation from $600 to $500.
