Location: Lafayette, IN, USA
My job told me that I can only use my cane to get into the building and get out of the building, not to get to break or the restroom or anywhere of the sort. HR said it's policy.... I checked the handbook, there's no mention of any ada/mobility aid policy. I was told I would have to prove my disabilities and need for a cane. I only use my cane to get to the bathroom, break room on break, timeclock, and to enter and exit the building when it's time to leave/arrive.
What should my next steps be?
I do not use my cane to perform my work, only to move around the plant when I'm not interacting with the trailers. Only to get to the bathroom, etc.
