Summary
Employers in Texas can generally set workplace policies, such as removing chairs, unless it impacts safety or violates OSHA regulations. If there is no medical necessity, there are no specific laws mandating the provision of chairs. Employees concerned about such policies should consider discussing the matter with their HR department to address any potential issues or discomforts.Full Conversation
My work has implemented a policy that is removing our chairs at the front desk at our hotel. is this legal?
Hi ****,
To provide better information, can you tell me if you have any medical conditions that would require you to have a chair at work, or if this policy affects your ability to perform your job duties?
no necessarily.
Thank you for the information, ****.
In Texas, employers must provide reasonable accommodations if an employee has a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If there's no medical need, employers have more discretion in setting workplace policies.
Is there anything else you need assistance with regarding this issue?
this dosent quite answer my question.
Hi ****,
To clarify, in Texas, employers have the discretion to set workplace policies, including the removal of chairs, unless it affects safety or violates labor laws. If you believe this policy is unreasonable or affects your work environment, you might consider discussing it with your HR department.
Is there anything else specific you would like to know?
is there any law that this might violate regardless of medical needs?
Hi ****,
In Texas, there are generally no specific laws requiring employers to provide chairs unless it affects safety or violates OSHA regulations. Employers have the discretion to set workplace policies, including the removal of chairs, in the absence of a medical need.
Is there anything else you need assistance with?
