4 I. Policy Statement The Florida Coalition Against Domestic Violence (FCADV) and the Brain Injury Association of Florida (BIAF) are committed to providing safe, welcoming, and accessible environments to employees, job applicants, and FCADV/BIAF sponsored training participants. A person living with a disability who requires an accommodation or modification in order to perform the essential functions of a job, compete for a job, to enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment, apply for a job, or attend an FCADV/BIAF sponsored training event may submit a request for a reasonable accommodation to the FCADV/BIAF [insert appropriate job title] at any time during the period of employment, before the application process or before a training event. The decision to approve or deny a request for a reasonable accommodation is made on a case-bycase basis. FCADV/BIAF will consider the disability and the needs of the individual as well as the needs of FCADV/BIAF when assessing FCADV/BIAF s reasonable ability to provide the accommodation. Moreover, when the initial request for a reasonable accommodation is not possible, FCADV/BIAF will engage in an interactive dialogue to explore and identify mutually agreeable alternative accommodations. The accommodation request will be processed according to the procedures outlined in this policy. II.

(42 USCS 12131) Undue Hardship: An action that is unduly costly, extensive, substantial, or disruptive, or that would fundamentally alter the nature or operation of FCADV/BIAF. Reasonable Accommodation for an Employee: A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a job, an employment practice, or the work environment that makes it possible for a qualified individual living with a disability to perform the essential functions of the job or enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment. Reasonable Accommodation for a Job Applicant: A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to the employment application process that makes it possible for an applicant to participate in the employer s hiring process and to receive equal consideration as an applicant for the job. Reasonable Accommodation for a Training Participant: A reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to the training environment that makes it possible for a training participant to receive an equal benefit of an FCADV/BIAF sponsored training process/event.

Share information with safety personnel if the individual living with a disability may require emergency treatment or assistance with evacuation. 5. Share information with government officials if it is necessary to investigate the employer s legal compliance. B. Making a Reasonable Accommodation Request 1.

8 individual, a health professional, or any other representative to whom the individual has given consent to act on her/his behalf. 2. When to Make a Reasonable Accommodation Request a. The individual may make a request for a reasonable accommodation (or a modification to an existing, approved request) at any time that the qualified individual encounters a workplace or training barrier that is preventing her/him, due to a disability, from performing the essential functions of a job or having equal access to a benefit or privilege of employment, the hiring process, or an FCADV/BIAF sponsored training event. 3.

Discussions with the employee to determine how the reasonable accommodation will help the employee successfully perform the essential functions of the job or allow the employee to enjoy equal privileges and benefits of the job. e. A request by FCADV/BIAF for additional documentation from a healthcare or rehabilitation professional to determine that the employee is living with a disability. FCADV/BIAF will make the request for additional documentation only if the disability is not readily apparent or if the employee has not already submitted sufficient information.
