Reasonable adjustments

Sample memo: reasonable adjustments

Structured sample for adjustment requests, occupational-health evidence, workplace implementation delay, and evidence gaps.

Tribuno provides Employment Tribunal research assistance and legal information only. It does not provide legal advice, representation, or guaranteed outcome prediction.

Research question

Which comparable decisions discuss delayed reasonable adjustments after occupational health recommendations?

Synthetic scenario for demonstration: recommendations are made after occupational-health input, but implementation is delayed and the reason for delay is disputed.

Source trail

Each source has a role, reason and check

The sample shows the level of source visibility a professional user should expect before relying on any generated prose.

S1ET decision

Knowledge and adjustment request chronology

Fact-pattern comparable

Used to compare when the employer knew enough to consider adjustments and whether the request was specific.

Check before use

Confirm the source chronology and the tribunal's treatment of knowledge, medical evidence, and employee communications.

S2ET decision

Occupational-health recommendation and delay

Fact-pattern comparable

Used to inspect whether delay was explained by operational evidence, uncertainty, or lack of follow-up.

Check before use

Check whether the adjustment was practical, trialled, rejected, or simply left unresolved.

L1Statute Lens

Reasonable adjustments framework context

Legal-framework context

Used to keep the statutory framework visible without turning the sample into legal advice.

Check before use

Verify the current statutory text and any authority needed for the specific professional question.

Comparison matrix

The useful part is what each source supports and what it does not prove

A sample should show comparison logic, not just a polished paragraph.

IssueSourcesWhat the sample supportsProfessional useCheck before use
Knowledge and trigger pointS1L1The sample directs the reviewer to identify when the employer had enough information to consider adjustments.Helps frame a chronology-led research question rather than a generic disability-discrimination answer.Do not treat the existence of medical evidence as enough; inspect what the employer actually knew.
Implementation delayS2The delay source separates unexplained drift from evidence-backed operational timing.Supports a memo section on whether delay needs more factual evidence before any conclusion can be drawn.Check dates, decision-makers, feasibility, and whether any temporary measures were considered.
Adjustment specificityS1S2The selected comparables should show whether the requested or recommended adjustment was concrete enough to compare.Helps the user decide whether more case-profile facts are needed before drafting.Avoid presenting a vague request as equivalent to a specific recommended workplace step.

Memo extract

Generated prose stays behind the source trail

The sample extract is written as cautious research assistance. It keeps labels close to the claim they support.

Research view

S1S2L1

The sample sources would support a memo organised around employer knowledge, adjustment specificity, and the reason for any implementation delay. The report should mark missing chronology and feasibility evidence rather than fill gaps with assumptions.

Evidence gap

S1S2

Before relying on the comparison, the user should check whether the occupational-health recommendation was clear, whether management accepted it, and what explanation exists for the period before implementation.

Review checks

What a professional should check before using a real memo

The sample is useful only if it makes the user's source-checking work clearer.

01

Check chronology

Confirm request date, medical evidence date, decision date, and implementation date.

02

Separate framework from comparables

Use statutory Lens material for context and ET decisions for fact-pattern comparison.

03

Mark uncertainty

Flag missing feasibility or operational evidence instead of drawing a firm conclusion.

Important limits

This sample shows structure, not advice

It does not advise on a real matter, predict an outcome, estimate an award, or replace source checking and professional judgement.

Illustrative source labels

The public labels demonstrate report structure only. Real workspace output must cite selected decisions and promoted Lens passages.

No disability-status assessment

The sample does not assess whether a person is disabled or whether an adjustment was legally required.

Evidence gaps remain visible

A real report must check medical evidence, employer knowledge, feasibility and implementation dates before drafting.

Professional judgement required

Use the sample as research assistance only, with source checking and independent professional review.
