Working from home

Has anyone had experience with an employee requesting to work from home as an accommodation? Does anyone have work from home policies already in place they could share? Any guidance would be helpful. Here are some details.
I have an employee suffering from Lupus. It had been in remission but is not active again. She tells me it will take 3-4 weeks to adjust her medication, but right now she is in extreme pain. She says working at our facility for a full day is too much, but she would like to work a half days in the office and then take work home where she would be more comfortable. She has to come in to collect information from casefiles, but the work she would take home is statistical data entry. She says she could do the work on a laptop from home.

We've have mixed success with this. I think it really depends upon the employee. If you have a union check into this carefully-they will have an opinion about how this program is to be run.
