According to the U.S. Department of Labor-funded Job Accommodation Network (JAN), 59 percent of accommodations for employees with disabilities cost nothing, while the rest of the accommodations had a typical cost of only $5001. This means that most workplace accommodations for people with a psychiatric disability are either free or very low-cost for the employer. Some examples of such accommodations are flexible scheduling, modified training and supervision, and leave for treatment or recovery234. These accommodations can benefit both the employee and the employer by enhancing productivity, reducing absenteeism, and improving retention24. References:
