Would this be considered a reasonable accommodation?
I work part time at a job that I really enjoy. I've always had a consistent schedule, working the same three days every week because those are the days I'm needed and because my supervisor is great. We recently got a newer higher up manager who is very by the book. Technically my position is supposed to be scheduled as needed for business needs. It's always been a weird gray area thing. These are the days I'm needed but not always and I'm not supposed to be scheduled like that consistently and in advance. It's been 2 years and no one has every said anything. However, new manager coming in has started making comments and might make an executive decision that my scheduling is not okay anymore.
Would asking for an accomodation to have a consistent schedule based on having autism and having a really hard time with inconsistent schedules and unplanned changes be reasonable?
Important note: I am not in retail or any other fast paced quickly changing job that requires schedule flexibility. I work in a lab like setting where everything is pretty routine and scheduling needs are easily planned for, the rule is more for other areas of the place I work where things are more volatile and part time employees are just kind of there in an as needed basis.
