BEST PRACTICES
• A request from an employee to bring
an assistive animal into the workplace
should be treated just like any other
request for accommodation: Once the
employee requests an accommodation
or you receive notice that an
employee has a disability that may
need an accommodation, engage in a
timely, good-faith interactive
processwith the employee to
determine if use of the animal would
be a reasonable accommodation.
• You cannot bar customers from
entering your business if they have a
service animal. Any signs that state
“no animals” should indicate that
service animals are allowed.
• Assistive and service animals are not
pets. They are working animals; their
job is to assist their owners.
Employees should not pet or engage
with an assistive or service animal
without first asking permission of the
animal’s owner.
• There are organizations that will, for a
fee, allow individuals to certify or
register an animal as a service or
assistive animal. Some even sell vests,
tags or other items for the animal to
wear. Such a certification or tag alone,
however, does not give an employee
or customer the right to have the
animal with them in your workplace
or business.
o In the case of an employee, the
animal must meet the definition
of an assistive animal and be
necessary as a reasonable
accommodation for the
employee’s disability.
o In the case of a customer, only a
service animal must be allowed in
your business. If the need for the
animal is not obvious, you can ask
the two questions identified above
to confirm whether the animal
qualifies as a service animal. 䡲
