USDOL Issues Resources on Workplace Accommodations

Sep 30, 2025

Workplace Accommodations: A High-Impact, Low-Cost Solution

Workplace accommodations are at the heart of every accessible work environment. The right accommodation—whether a modified work schedule or screen-reading software—can help talented people with disabilities perform their best on the job. Often, effective accommodations are easy to implement and cost less than employers think. In a United States Department of Labor (USDOL) Job Accommodation Network (JAN) survey of employers, 61% of respondents who provided cost information for an accommodation they implemented said it cost nothing. Another 33% reported that their accommodation incurred only a one-time expense, with a median cost of $300. Lastly, 6% said their accommodations resulted in ongoing costs, with a median annual cost of $2,400. Read JAN’s updated annual “Low Cost, High Impact” report for more key findings.

Tune in to the Deputy Secretary of Labor’s video about the nation’s top source of expert, confidential guidance on workplace accommodations. Every day, JAN helps talented people with disabilities navigate the accommodations process and succeed in every work environment.
