Option to work remotely<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nReasonable accommodations are required to not create undue hardship or a direct threat. In addition to the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities as well as protecting the rights of federal sector employees, like the U.S. Postal Service.<\/p>\n
Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)<\/h4>\n
The FMLA provides job protection to those with an illness in addition to allowing qualified employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave annually. This leave can be intermittent\u2014 taking days off in separate blocks like two weeks at a time, or on a single day.<\/p>\n
Employees are protected by the FMLA and can take a few days off here and there during treatments like chemotherapy, or weeks at a time for screenings, surgeries, and other intensive care.<\/p>\n
However, to be eligible for medical leave employees must have worked with their employer for at least 12 months, worked 1,250 hours, and be employed by a covered company with at least 50 employees.<\/p>\n

Tips for Working During Cancer Treatment<\/h4>\n
Should you decide to continue work during treatment, there is a myriad of ways to handle your work life while still prioritizing your health.<\/p>\n
Decide on Fair Accommodations with Your Employer<\/p>\n
Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for their employees with illnesses, but what accommodations they allow depends on your situation. Making sure to advocate for yourself can benefit you when it comes to working remotely given your energy levels are lower due to treatment. Another reasonable accommodation worth asking for is a flexible schedule so that you can easily schedule appointments as well as time to rest after treatments.<\/p>\n
Plan Doctor\u2019s Appointments Around Your Work Schedule<\/p>\n
Making appointments later in the day or even close to the weekend can give you the appropriate time to rest and recover, in addition to avoiding interference with your work schedule. This is also important because you cannot predict how you\u2019re going to feel after treatment, so it\u2019s better to be on the safer side by allocating enough time for recovery.<\/p>\n
Keep Your Team in the Loop<\/h4>\n
The effects of treatment can often surprise patients, so it\u2019s important to let your team know when you\u2019re not feeling your best and you need time to rest. It\u2019s also important to make sure that if your treatment plan changes, that information should be communicated to your manager so everyone is on the same page.<\/p>\n
Set Your Boundaries with Yourself<\/h4>\n
Arguably the most important aspect of working during treatment is setting boundaries. This helps you outline how much work you can handle and avoid overexerting yourself, as taking on too much work may interfere with your rest and recovery. Make sure to pencil in time in your schedule to rest and regain your energy.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Ask for Help<\/h4>\n
This may not be the easiest part, but there is nothing wrong with asking for help when you need it. Leaning on coworkers for support can help take the stress off of some work-related tasks. Asking family members to help out will also give you the time and space to unwind after you\u2019re off the clock.<\/p>\n
If You Can\u2019t Work<\/h4>\n
The side effects of cancer treatment and other qualifying illnesses can make it difficult to perform daily functions even with time off and additional job accommodations. This can make taking a leave of absence from work the best option.<\/p>\n
Your employer could offer short-term disability benefits if your treatment requires you to take a leave from work for an extended period of time. The employer-provided short-term disability benefits give you a percentage of your salary given you\u2019re not able to perform your previous job duties because of your illness. These benefits can help you recover some of your salary and ensure your medical coverage.<\/p>\n
In the situation where you decide to quit your job, you may qualify for Social Security benefits like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). These benefits may be available if\u2026<\/p>\n
\n- You have limited income because of your medical condition<\/li>\n
- Your medical condition keeps you from work for at least a year<\/li>\n
- You have been living with the condition for at least 5 months<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Another option for benefits when you leave your job is programs like Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) which helps in the case of lost employee health insurance. COBRA can allow you to extend coverage from your previous employer for up to 36 months. However, COBRA is expensive since it doesn\u2019t cover the cost of insurance premiums. Consider signing up for an Affordable Care Act Health plan or Medicaid.<\/p>\n
Whether you decide to continue work or take time off, adjusting to the conditions of your diagnosis is a process. It\u2019s important to take care of your health first so that you have a speedy recovery. Follow the visual guide below to help you understand how to juggle work responsibilities even when faced with an illness.<\/p>\n
