Reasonable
Accommodation
The office of
Disability affairs coordinates all reasonable accommodations
requests for Fulton County employees who have disabilities.
Reasonable Accommodation is the
modification or adjustment to a position application process
that enables a qualified applicant with a disability to be
considered for the position such qualified applicant desires; or
modification or adjustment to the work environment, or to the
manner of circumstances under which the position held or desired
is customarily performed, that enables a qualified individual
with a disability to perform the essential functions of that
position; or modification or adjustment which enables an
employee with a disability to enjoy equal benefits and
privileges of employment as are enjoyed by its other similarly
situated employees without disabilities.
The Office of Disability Affairs assists
department managers and supervisors in facilitating
reasonable accommodations requests made by Fulton County
employees. We are committed to ensuring that artificial
and/or real barriers which prevent or limit the
employment and upward mobility of persons with
disabilities be abolished.
Reasonable Accommodations may include the
following:
·
Providing new equipment or devices
·
Modifying existing equipment or devices
·
Job restructuring
·
Part-time or modified work schedules
·
Reassignment to a vacant position
·
Adjusting or modifying examinations
·
Providing training materials or policies
