Reasonable workplace accommodations shall be made for any qualified individual with a disability, as defined under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as Amended, so long as the accommodation does not constitute an undue hardship to the agency or division. Undue hardship is defined as an action requiring significant difficulty or expense.
The ADA as Amended defines an individual with a disability as a person who (1) has physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities such as seeing, speaking, hearing, breathing,walking, or learning, (2) has a record of such impairment; or (3) is regarded as having such an impairment.
An individual requesting an accommodation may do so in coordination with their supervisor and/or Engineering Human Resources as deemed appropriate. Depending upon the circumstances, and the accommodation requested, the individual may be responsible for obtaining medical documentation, providing the nature of the disability and functional limitations.
