(A) It is the intent and policy of the town that qualified individuals with disabilities participate in and receive the benefit of the services, programs or activities of the town. It is the policy of the town not to discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability in: job application procedures, the hiring, advancement or discharge of employees, employee compensation, job training and other terms or conditions and privileges of employment. It is the intent of the town to comply with all applicable requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
(B) The town will reasonably accommodate persons with a disability on a case-by-case basis, which may include making facilities readily accessible to individuals with a disability, restructuring jobs, modifying work schedules, modifying equipment or similar accommodations. Due to the nature of the work, however, the town may be unable to make such accommodations. Employees who wish to request an accommodation are advised to contact their supervisor to obtain ADA forms for processing. Any employee who believes he or she has received treatment inconsistent with this policy or with any requirement of the ADA may file a complaint within 180 days of the date of the alleged discriminatory act or practice with the Town Council or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
