March 2023 – Employee Relations –Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Accommodation Requests
UAMS is committed to the principles outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA), and will act in accordance with the laws and regulations and guidance. See UAMS Administrative Guide 3.1.12 Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Employee Relations has developed a more streamlined process for employees to initiate ADA reasonable accommodation requests through the Employee Self Service (ESS) portal in Service Now:
ADA Accommodation Support asks our employees to answer a few, preliminary questions, so that their Employee Relations Partner may better assist in meeting their needs. Employee Relations will then review the request and provide the appropriate guidance.
Employee Relations has created an online course for UAMS leaders called “Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA),” available on the Workday Learning App. This course provides guidelines to leaders and an overview of processes when there is a need to initiate (and conduct) the ADA interactive meeting process for employees. For additional information, please visit the ADA Information Page and Training Information Page on the Division of People and Culture, Employee Relations, website.
