_Note from June 13, 2026._ The [Workplace Accommodation Letter Pack](https://resources.glutenhero.net/workplace-accommodation-letters/) is a free set of six letter templates for people with celiac disease who are asking their employer for a workplace accommodation for the first time. Each template has usage guidance, fill-in fields, and a one-click "copy letter text" button. These templates are starting points for a workplace conversation, not legal documents. They are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice. For guidance on your specific situation, consider consulting a licensed employment attorney or contacting the EEOC at eeoc.gov or 1-800-669-4000. ## The six letters 1. **Initial Accommodation Request** — the gateway letter. Use it to formally disclose your diagnosis and ask for a meeting, without committing to a specific accommodation yet. 2. **Remote Work Request** — makes the case for full or partial work-from-home to control your food-prep environment. 3. **Dedicated Kitchen Equipment** — a low-cost, specific ask for a personal toaster, labeled storage, and a cutting board in a shared office kitchen. 4. **Flexible Schedule / Medical Leave** — modified hours for recurring GI appointments and bloodwork. FMLA may also apply at larger employers. 5. **Business Travel Accommodation** — advance notice, a hotel with a kitchen, and modest meal-expense flexibility, framed as low-disruption. 6. **Follow-Up / Accommodation Review** — a polite, non-adversarial check-in when an initial request gets no response after 7 to 10 business days. ## How to use the pack - Start with **Letter 1** if you have not yet formally disclosed your diagnosis. It opens the door without naming a specific ask. - Layer in **Letters 2 through 5** based on which accommodations fit your role and workplace. You can send more than one. - Use **Letter 6** only if your initial request gets no substantive response after 7 to 10 business days. If your request was formally denied, that situation warrants an attorney's guidance before you send anything. - **Fill every bracketed field** before sending, and remove the template note at the top of each letter. - **Keep a copy** of every letter you send, including the date and how it was delivered. ## What the templates are careful about The pack is written to stay on solid ground. It says celiac disease "may qualify" as a disability under the ADA Amendments Act, that you "may be able to request" reasonable accommodations, and that outcomes depend on your employer, role, state, and specific facts. It never claims that any accommodation is guaranteed, that you are legally entitled to a specific outcome, or that the letters guarantee any result. Adapt the language to reflect your actual situation before sending. ## Now personalizable in Letter Studio _Update from June 13, 2026._ Each of the six letters is now also available as a fill-in-the-blank version in [Letter Studio](https://resources.glutenhero.net/letters/). Enter your details, watch the letter assemble in a live preview, then copy the text or download a PDF. The copy-paste pack on this page stays available too — same letters, same guardrails, whichever you prefer. The personalizable versions live at /letters/workplace-accommodation-initial/, -remote, -kitchen, -schedule, -travel, and -followup.
