PAP.5.5.010 Work Site Accommodations

The LCO-CHC is exempted from the federal and state offered definition of an employer as provided by the American's with Disabilities Act, 42 USC § 12111 (5) (B). However, as a matter of its own internal policies the LCO-CHC discourages discrimination against persons with disabilities and when possible seeks to accommodate persons with disabilities on the job. When possible, the LCO-CHC will make reasonable efforts to provide reasonable accommodations to all employees and applicants, including work site accessibility. Employees must notify their department head or director or the Human Resource Director, or designee, in writing of any requested reasonable accommodation within a reasonable period of time after the employee learns of the need for such accommodation.
