Reasonable Accommodation Policy
Policy
Reasonable Accommodation Policy (effective August 12, 2024)
Procedures
To ensure that an employee with a disability can perform or continue to perform (if the disability occurs after employment) their job responsibilities, a reasonable accommodation by 台湾裸聊直播 may include, but is not limited to, the purchase of special equipment, changing the physical layout of the workplace, restructuring job responsibilities and duties and modifying the work schedule.
To ensure that a pregnant employee can continue to perform her job responsibilities, a reasonable accommodation by 台湾裸聊直播 may include, but is not limited to, more frequent breaks, private non-bathroom space for expressing breast milk, light duty, restructuring job responsibilities and duties and modifying the work schedule.
Even though the employee provides input concerning the accommodation process, 台湾裸聊直播 will determine what constitutes a reasonable accommodation on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to request additional independent medical examinations, evaluations or other appropriate information at the University's expense.
Medical information is treated as confidential and will be shared with University administrators only on a need to know basis. 台湾裸聊直播 will not provide accommodations without appropriate documentation.
In limited instances, a requested accommodation may pose an "undue hardship" on the University which prevents the accommodation from being offered. The determination of whether an accommodation creates an "undue hardship" is contingent upon a number of variables and is made by the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance. Supervisors must contact the Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance before disciplining, transferring, terminating or relieving an employee of job responsibilities due to disability or pregnancy.
Policy oversight
The Office of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance is the administrative office responsible for the management, implementation and coordination of the 台湾裸聊直播 Reasonable Accommodation Policy. Concerns with respect to architectural barriers and building/program disability-related modifications should also be directed to theOffice of Civil Rights and Title IX Compliance.
