(A) The prohibition against discrimination in employment, because of handicap, does not apply to failure of an employer to employ or retain as an employee any person who, because of a handicap, is physically or otherwise unable to efficiently and safely perform at the standards set by the employer, the duties required in that job.
(B) After a handicapped individual is employed, the employer shall not be required under this chapter to promote or transfer such handicapped person to another job or occupation, unless, prior to such transfer, such handicapped person, by training or expertise, is qualified for such job or occupation.
(C) This section shall not be construed to require any employer to modify any physical accommodations or administrative procedures to accommodate a handicapped person.
(D) To be classified as “handicapped” under this chapter a person shall be certified as such pursuant to the procedure, rules and regulations not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter as shall be issued by the Indiana Rehabilitation Services Board. The certificate shall consist of a statement signed by the Indiana Rehabilitation Services Board describing the nature of the disability, specific disability-related limitations and stating whether the disability is temporary or permanent.
(E) No complaint or charge of discrimination under this section shall be considered valid and acceptable to the Commission unless it is submitted by an individual who has been properly certified as a handicapped person as herein defined.
