[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 639783, member: 13882"] I think most employers make what is called "reasonable accommodations" for their employees who require them. GM, I don't think your daughter's employer is aware of what may or may not require any accommodation on their part, but I'm sure if the need arises, one could put forward specific requests, and whatever supporting documents (doctor's note, etc.) that would prove the request is legitimate. I don't think the company HAS TO comply if the request is too disruptive, but usually, if it's not, they often make an attempt. Particularly after someone's been trained and working well otherwise. Kudos to your daughter for coping with the double shifts - it is extremely difficult to manage stress for fragile people, and it's a tough and demanding world out there. My brother is schizoaffective, but many years ago, had some success with medication and was able to work in a very stressful job (court reporter). He had a lot of stress at home from his wife which added to his job stress, and he was able to work fewer hours for a while until he was able to regulate. Stress exacerbates mental illness in many ways, and although this was a while back, and the job landscape has changed, I think when employers are given a heads-up for a LEGITIMATE issue within reason, they often will be understanding. I hope she can sail through this without a hitch, though! [/QUOTE]
