In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (1990) and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) (2008) and applicable State law, Geneva prohibits unlawful discrimination against qualified applicants or employees with disabilities who can perform the essential functions of their jobs with or without reasonable accommodations. The school will not discriminate based on disability or perceived disability in hiring, promotion, discharge, compensation, job training, benefits, classification, referral, or any other aspects, terms, or conditions of employment.
In accordance with the law, it is the school’s policy to provide such qualified applicants and employees with reasonable accommodations, except where such accommodations would impose an undue hardship on the School. Any employee who requires an accommodation to perform the essential functions of the job should contact Human Resources and request such an accommodation. The School will engage in an interactive process with the individual regarding the need for reasonable accommodation.
If an employee is out sick or shows symptoms of being ill, it may become necessary to request medical information from the employee and/or the employee’s medical provider. In general, the school may request medical information to confirm the employee’s need to be absent, to show whether and how an absence relates to the infection, and to know that it is appropriate for the employee to return to work. The school will not request health-related information from a medical provider without the employee’s knowledge. The school expects and appreciates the employee’s cooperation if medical information is sought. The school may require medical certification before any employee is allowed to return to work.
