Center
“Building an Inclusive Workforce”
The Employment Accommodations Resource Center (EARC) is the
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
appropriate employment-related accommodations.
FEHA has a publication entitled
Disability Under the Fair Employment & Housing Act:
What you should know about the law that
distinguishes FEHA from ADA.
It is the responsibility of the employee to request employment
accommodations through the EARC or through his/her supervisor.
To determine eligibility for possible employment accommodations, employees must meet with an EARC representative by calling 408-924-6003.
