Unreasonable

Choosing shifts purely on preference, not fairness

Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?

Overview

Adjustments are for need, not preference.

For Employees

Frame your request around "medical need" (e.g. medication timing), not just "I prefer mornings".

For Employers

"Preference" is not a disability need. Refuse unless there is medical evidence supporting the timing.

Key Considerations
