The Employment Accommodations Resource Center (EARC) is San José State University’s administrative program charged with collecting confidential, medical, and professional verification of an employee’s disability to determine reasonable and appropriate employment accommodations. 

Employees requesting employment accommodations due to a disability must meet the criteria and requirements established under the California Fair Employment Housing Act (FEHA) as well as  Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The EARC works closely with Human Resources and Faculty Affairs and will, on a case-by-case basis, consult with an employee’s primary physician, or other professional to determine and recommend reasonable and appropriate employment accommodations.
