Accommodations for People with Disabilities

jobs-employment labor-relations all-residents Qualified applicants or employees with a disability can request a reasonable accommodation to apply for a job or to perform job functions. Miami-Dade County employees with disabilities may request special accommodations to overcome obstacles that restrict their ability to do their jobs. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) protects qualified individuals with disabilities from employment discrimination. The <a href="http://www.eeoc.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's website</a> offers more information on the ADA. Reasonable Accommodation A reasonable accommodation is any change or adjustment to a job or work environment that enables a qualified applicant or employee with a disability to participate in the job application process, to perform essential job functions, or enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment equal to those enjoyed by employees without disabilities. When an individual qualifies for reasonable accommodation, the County can choose among effective accommodations, and may choose one that is less expensive or easier to provide. Generally, the County is not obligated to provide personal use items such as eyeglasses or hearing aids. The accommodation of reassignment should be considered only when an accommodation is not possible in an employee's present job, or when an accommodation in the present job would cause undue hardship. All requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. Read the <a href="https://www.miamidade.gov/resources/human-resources/documents/labor-relations-accommodation-manual.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reasonable Accommodation Procedures Manual</a>.

If a recommendation is being made to deny the request, the department should consult with and forward the form to the Employee Relations Department ADA Unit.
