Hello All,
I have recently joined FIS Global around end of April. My mother recently met with an accident and she needs to be operated.
I haven't been able to update the anything regarding the insurance part yet on FIS portal.
Will my mother's treatment be covered under the insurance? If yes, what's the procedure for the same? What are the documents that I need to submit in order to claim the amount?
Can anyone please guide?
Globant India Pvt. Ltd. Hi Globers ! I have an offer from Globant for the role of a BA. While discussing the role with HR pre and post the interviews & offer, I had specifically ask the HR to tag me to Ahmedabad location as that's my hometown and I do not wish to relocate. But she has rolled out the offer for Pune location ane verbally ( isn't giving me in writing ) assured me that the location will be flexible. May I know from the fellow Globers if we have location flexibility or WFH option available? Globant India Pv

Can he Telehealth to his provider? If not, he can ask if he gets the offer but I doubt anyone would say that’s a reasonable accommodation, unfortunately.
He definitely can! I suggest he keeps looking in case the current job can't accommodate him.
One option he/she can do is to start with the company in the hybrid mode and then work it out with their team. Sometimes it is easier to do that once you are working at the company.
Your friend has a valid concern, and it's not uncommon for individuals with mental health conditions to require accommodations to perform their job. To answer your question, yes, your friend can ask for medical accommodation, including working from home, as long as it does not create an undue hardship for the employer. The first step would be for your friend to talk with the hiring manager or HR representative and explain his situation and the accommodation he is seeking. It is helpful to have documentation from his mental health professional to support the request.
Employees are entitled to request reasonable accommodations for disabilities, including mental health conditions, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). For an accommodation to be considered valid, it must not cause undue hardship for the employer. If your friend seeks to work from home due to his PTSD, he can request this accommodation.
I think so as well. I work 100% remote as a program manager, but my employer is in the UK. I don't understand why this other company could not accommodate it for him, but, again, I know nothing about such things. He told me he is willing to drive out (4 hrs) to the company site a few times a month, however.
why can’t zoom work for the therapy sessions?
I think most jobs can be remote these days. If not those one, he can find one that is.
If he needs medical accommodation, he needs to directly ask his employer for it and sit down with him for the process. Unless of course the employer already knows that it is necessary for his condition. He needs to read his employee handbook to see if his employer already has an accommodations request procedure or a non-discrimination policy. He needs to be specific in his condition and explain briefly why he needs one. It is better if it is done in writing. His employer may request for his medical records.
I would recommend that he is honest with the employer during the interview process so they can make the best decision for both parties. Right now remote work is a hot topic and some companies are taking a hard stance one way or another.
If he can be hybrid, he can be remote. Being remote because of a health care provider situation is a reasonable accommodation.
