ernesty

Employee rights,
made right.*

HR was built to manage you. ernesty was built to support you.

*Starting with reasonable accommodation requests

Not sure what you need?

Thinking about a request?

Learn what's possible and how to ask effectively.

Not sure about your rights?

Learn all that the ADA grants you.

Request was denied?

Learn your options and next steps.

Possible retaliation?

Learn the warning signs and how to protect yourself.

The problem isn't you.
The problem is the environment.

Sure, you might be the problem somewhere in life. But not here.

Accommodations aren't a sign of weakness. And they aren't special treatment. Accommodations are tools that remove barriers. (And every human uses them. Every day.)

ernesty gives you the knowledge to understand your rights and the confidence to assert them.

← This is the ernesty approach.

LEARN

Know what you're entitled to. (It's more than you think.)

Articles and a glossary designed around the questions you're actually asking. What you need to know, when you need to know it, organized so you can find it even when you don't know what to look for.

You don't need to be an expert. You have one in ernesty.

Still have questions?

Is ernesty free?
The tools and articles are completely free. Everything you need to understand your rights, your employer's responsibilities, how to ask, and what to do if something goes wrong. If you want to answer a few questions and have it done for you, the ernesty app is $199, one time.
Is this legal advice?
Nope. Not at all. Not in the slightest. ernesty educates. It compiles everything you need to know in one place and makes it easy to find, even when you don't know what you don't know. The ernesty App helps you advocate for yourself effectively, built on over 5 years of experience working on both sides of the accommodation process. If your situation calls for a lawyer, ernesty helps you understand when and why that matters.
What if my employer denied my request?
Maybe it was justified. Maybe it wasn't. Either way, it isn't the end. Your employer has responsibilities. When they know you know that, they treat you differently. They treat you better*. You gain power. You have options. Start with our "My Employer Denied My Request" guide to understand your rights and next steps, including how to respond and when to escalate.

*(Unless they are assholes. Nothing changes that. But, most companies will treat you better when they know you know your rights.)
Is my information private?
Nothing here is ever shared with your employer. Period. We count how often each option is chosen, in aggregate, so we know which parts of the tools people use. We never record who chose them: no account, no cookie, no IP address, no timestamp, and no tracking across visits.
What happens after I pay?
  1. 1. Pay on Stripe.
  2. 2. Sign in to the app with the same email you used at checkout.
  3. 3. If you signed in first, use Refresh Page in the app.
