 Reasonable Accommodations

REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS

The foundation will provide reasonable accommodations consistent with the law to otherwise qualified employees and applicants with a disability; and with needs related to religious observance or practices; pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions; or status as a victim of domestic violence, sex offenses, or stalking. What constitutes a reasonable accommodation is dependent upon the circumstances and will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. The foundation will not discriminate or retaliate against any individual for requesting an accommodation.

If you wish to request an accommodation based on the circumstances noted in this policy, please make your request in writing to human resources. The request should include: a) the reason you are requesting an accommodation, b) what the accommodation is, and c) how, if the foundation approves the requested accommodation, it will allow you to perform the essential functions of your position. If you wish to provide any supporting documentation with your request, you may do so.

After receiving your request, the foundation will engage in a cooperative dialogue with you. A cooperative dialogue can be either in writing or orally, takes place within a reasonable timeframe, and is intended to understand the limitations and explore potential reasonable accommodations that could overcome the limitations without imposing an undue hardship on the foundation. The foundation is not required to provide the specific accommodation you request and may provide an alternative accommodation.

During the cooperative dialogue, the foundation reserves the right to request supporting documentation.

After engaging in cooperative dialogue, the foundation will provide you with a final written determination regarding your request.

This policy statement is not a contract of employment. The Wallace Foundation reserves the right to change or revoke this policy statement at any time without notice. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Reasonable Accommodations January 2021
