Disability Accommodations Policy
(with Acknowledgment) (OR)

Summary

This template is a disability accommodations policy for use by Oregon based employers. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. This template is intended for private employers with six or more employees. It contains an acknowledgment, and includes information about notice requirements, and other obligations of an employer to accommodate disabilities in the workplace. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. For a non-jurisdictional employee handbook, see Employee Handbook. Its language has been customized to comply with Oregon and federal law. As a result, the text of this template differs from the non-jurisdictional Disability Accommodations Policy (with Acknowledgment). For information on reasonable accommodations, see Disability and Reasonable Accommodation Policies: Key Drafting Tips, Americans with Disabilities Act: Guidance for Employers, and Accommodating a Disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act Checklist. For forms related to the reasonable accommodation of disabilities, see Disability and Reasonable Accommodation Policy, Disability Accommodation Request (ADA), and Disability Accommodation Request Resolution (ADA). For information on Oregon laws concerning disability protections, see Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation (OR), and the Oregon row of the Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation State Practice Notes Chart.
