Policy

Policy Name: Employee & Applicant Accommodations  

Policy Number: 4114

Policy Details 

The policy of Shoreline College District Number Seven (7) is to provide reasonable accommodation for qualified applicants or employees with disabilities. Reasonable accommodation is defined as modification or adjustment to a job, work environment, policy, practice, or procedure that enables a qualified individual with a disability to perform the essential functions of that position or enjoy equal employment opportunity without imposing an undue hardship on the College. Persons with disabilities have the right to reasonable accommodation in all aspects of employment with the College. This includes, but is not limited to, recruitment, application, hiring, training, termination, conditions of employment, and any other employer-supported activities. The Office of Human Resources is responsible for implementation of this policy at the College, noting the ADA 504 Coordinator maintains responsibility for enforcement.  

This policy should not be construed as providing rights or obligations not provided under applicable law. To receive reasonable accommodations, individuals are responsible for requesting accommodations and documenting the nature and extent of their disability in a timely manner. The reasonable accommodation process is an interactive process and requires the cooperation of the individual requesting accommodation. Failure to cooperate may delay or stop the reasonable accommodation process. Notification of the right to accommodation and information on how to make such a request for qualified applicants with a disability will be included in all recruitment efforts. The College will post its accommodation policy on its website, provide it to all new employees, and make it available to any individual upon request.
