[Nfbc-info] Employment related question

[Lisa Irving]

Tim,


Agreed, utilizing the Job Accommodations Network is a win-win. As for
completing materials is a specific way I don't follow you. We're talking
about multiple requirements: the initial online job application that
Sweetman Systems found problematic. Then there's the DocuSign plythera of
forms with a March 22 deadline. SThere is also the week-long orientation.
This involves completing a workbook while watching videos and participating
in lectures. This company uses their workbooks to become go-to's for
students and for employees. There's also a very broad computer platform,
Network Care Access. This platform was first developed by the military. Now
it is widely used in mental health within mental health agencies. It is my
understanding that Sweetman Systems will come down to work with me on
specialized programs. 

I hope this helps.

Lisa,

I suspect the employer may already know of its obligation to provide
reasonable accommodations unless it is an unusually small or unsophisticated
operation.  You really want to share accommodations resources more so than
accommodations requirements, etc.  The job accommodation network is one such
source.  Hiring a JAWS scripter or other assistive tech consultant might
also be a resource.  You could probably provide the employer a list of
consultants/trainers used by voc. Rehab.  Finally, encourage flexibility in
how you fill out the orientation workbook, etc.  There is no reason it must
be done in any particular way.  

Regards,

 You want to look up the Department of fair employment and housing. They
supersede the ADA in California. And they should be able to give you all the
answers that you are looking for regarding reasonable accommodation.

I'm working with a bunch of documents on DocuSign. It's not real screen
reader user friendly. The company that I will work for regularly uses form
of communication. What resources can I share with HR? 

 

I will have to complete an orientation workbook. While it can be scanned it
cannot effectively be used. That is there empty spaces to complete; the text
varies in location and that's what I understand so far. 

 

Would someone please share with me a non-threatening list of resources with
citations from Calif. Disability Law and Title I on the ADA? 

 

I don't want to hammer the employer, however, I would like to let the HR
team that there are state and federal laws put in place to help the employer
and the employee. 

 

Thanks.

 

Lisa Irving
