A qualified individual is one who, with or without a reasonable accommodation, can perform the
essential functions of a job.

A reasonable accommodation is a modification to a job which will allow an individual with a disability
to perform the job's essential functions. An employer is required to make a reasonable
accommodation to a known disability of a qualified applicant or employee. A reasonable
accommodation may include but is not limited to:

a. Making facilities used by employees readily accessible and usable by persons with disabilities

b. job restructuring;

c. modifying work schedules;

d. reassignment to a vacant position;
e. acquiring or modifying equipment or devices;

f. adjusting or modifying examinations, training materials or policies, or

g. providing qualified sign language interpreter.

A reasonable accommodation does not include lower production and quality standards. Also, the
employer need not provide an accommodation that would impose an "undue hardship" on the
business. The Act is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the penalties
are the same as for violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, with maximum amounts for intentional
discrimination mandated by the Civil Rights Act of 1991. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
requires employers to reasonably accommodate qualified individuals with disabilities.

It is the policy of Police FCU to comply with all federal and state laws concerning the employment of
persons with disabilities. It is our company policy not to discriminate against qualified individuals with
disabilities in regards to application procedures, hiring, advancement, discharge, compensation,
training, other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. Police FCU will reasonably
accommodate qualified individuals with a disability so that they can perform the essential functions of
a job.

An individual who can be reasonably accommodated for a job without undue hardship will be given
the same consideration for that position as any other applicant. “Undue hardship” means an action
requiring significant difficulty or expense by the employer.
