1400 - REVISING JOB DESCRIPTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ADA/504

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the Corporation's job descriptions be reviewed and, if necessary, revised to ensure that employment practices do not discriminate against any current staff member or job candidate who has a disability.

The following procedure should ensure that each job description adequately and accurately reflects the mental and physical requirements to fulfill properly the expectations of the job.

Because there is more likelihood that physical impairments will interfere with job functioning in classified positions, these job descriptions should be reviewed/revised first.

The revised job description should be kept on file in the Human Relations office with copies provided to the staff member and his/her supervisor, in accordance with any applicable negotiated agreement. Job descriptions should be updated whenever there is an addition to or modification in a job.
