Accommodations for Employees
Employees are responsible for initiating requests for any desired disability-related workplace accommodation. Employees can request reasonable accommodations through Equal Opportunity, Equity & Affirmative Action. More information on how to do so can be found here: Employee Accommodation Requests
The employee making the request is required to cooperate throughout the interactive process by attending meetings to discuss the needed accommodation and timely providing medical documentation where necessary. Accommodations are not required to apply retroactively.
If you are an employee having difficulty successfully performing duties of your job due to limitations from a disability or medical condition or if you need leave related to a disability, please contact EOEAA for a confidential conversation.
