Employers are not requried to offer any accommodation for an injury whether it occurs on the job or off unless the employee qualifies for coverage under a federal law called the Americans With Disabilities Act. That is a complex law that requires employers with 15 or more employees to accommodate an employee who has a disability as defined under that law. The disability must be one that substantially limits a major life acitivity and the accommodation must be "reasonable." Employers have no duty to accommodate if the accomodation is not reasonable.
