§ 2-762. Americans with Disabilities Act.  


Latest version.
  • The county government complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Public Law 101-336 (ADA), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability. The ADA prohibits employers with 15 or more employees from discriminating against qualified job applicants and employees who are or become disabled. The county government is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, unless it would impose an undue hardship. An individual with a disability may request a reasonable accommodation at any time during the application process or during the period of employment. The employee, health professional, or any other representative acting on the employee's behalf may request an accommodation. This may be done verbally or by completing a reasonable accommodation request form. This form may be obtained from the employee's supervisor or the county Americans with Disabilities Act office. Reasonable documentation from an appropriate health care or rehabilitation professional will be required to establish that a person has an ADA disability, and that the disability necessitates a reasonable accommodation.
