66 Final Decision

The manager of the operation or office affected by the request for reasonable accommodation must be consulted and must ultimately approve the request or determination using the RAC as a consultative source or guide. If the manager decides not to follow the RAC’s recommendation to accommodate the individual, the manager must first consult with his or her Manager of Human Resources and document his or her reasons for that decision. Refer to subchapter 25 for additional information on denying a requested accommodation.
