Track How Long Workplace Adjustments Take to Arrive — Free
Adjustment requests are usually remembered as a long wait, which is hard to raise in a review and easy to dispute. A dated record of request, response and delivery turns it into a pattern that can be discussed with numbers.

Why the flat version breaks
E-mail threads show the correspondence and not the elapsed time. Logging the days each stage took produces the average, the range and the direction across several requests, which is the form a manager, a union representative or an occupational health service can act on.
How to use the adjustment response ladder in four passes
The request date is the first dated message or form. Conversations, corridor mentions and verbal asks are worth noting, but the clock runs from the written request.
Actioned means delivered, not acknowledged. An acknowledgement that arrives in three days and is followed by nothing is a request still outstanding, and it should be logged as such.
Two weeks is a common service standard for internal requests; four weeks is a common one for adaptations involving an assessment. Set the band from the process you are in.
An average that rises while one request sits unresolved is a specific problem worth raising. The ladder sorts by size, so the slowest rows are where any conversation starts.
SAMPLE DATA, NOT A VERIFIED CLAIM: the starter record is six adjustment requests averaging 20 working days against a fourteen-day band, with one still unanswered. Replace these values with your own source before you rely on anything.
What breaks first
Logging an acknowledgement as a completed request
An acknowledgement is not an adjustment. If the desk never arrived, the request was not actioned, and recording it as done loses the strongest fact in the record.
Raising each delay separately in passing
Individual mentions become individual explanations. A dated pattern across several requests is what turns a conversation into a process change.
Leaving out the requests that were handled quickly
The fast ones are the comparison that makes the slow ones meaningful. A ladder with only the delays reads as an argument rather than a record.
What you pay otherwise
| The usual route | What it leaves out | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Waiting without a record | Months of delay that cannot be raised in a review because it was never written down | the months |
| A private occupational health report | Professional fee to document a pattern your own log already shows | $300–$900 |
| A tracker subscription | Monthly fee for a log that fits on one ladder | $5–$15 a month |
| This page + the free adjustment response ladder | Computed in your tab, result on screen before you type anything | $0 |

Boundary: This records requests you made and the time they took; it is not legal advice and it does not determine whether an adjustment was reasonable or whether a duty was breached. Adjustment duties and timeframes are set by the law and the process that applies to you — keep the written correspondence and take advice from a union representative, an occupational health service or a qualified adviser where the delay continues.
