What relates to your adjustment?
How this checker works
This tool compares your request against UK employment norms, case law precedents, and operational contexts. It is designed to give you a realistic idea of what is likely to be accepted.
✅ Likely Reasonable
Adjustments that cost little, cause no disruption, and support the employee are almost always reasonable.
⚠️ Context Dependent
Some requests (like remote work for a surgeon) are impossible. The role dictates the reasonableness.
⚖️ Operational Needs
Employers can refuse adjustments if they damage the business significantly. This is the main test.
