Disability Accommodations Policy
(with Acknowledgment) (DC)

Summary

This template is a disability accommodations policy, containing an acknowledgement for use by employers in the District of Columbia, that covers key topics for disability accommodations including, among other things, notice and other employer obligations. This template includes practical guidance and drafting notes. This template is intended for private employers. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. Its language has been customized to comply with District of Columbia 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 templates related to the reasonable accommodation of disabilities, see Disability and Reasonable Accommodation Policy, Disability Accommodation Request (ADA), and Disability Accommodation Request Resolution (ADA).
