6 Role and Responsibilities of the Reasonable Accommodation Committee

61 Policy

Each area and district is required to have a Reasonable Accommodation Committee (RAC), a multifunctional task force that helps management do the following:

• Determine the eligibility of employees and applicants for reasonable accommodation.
• Assess the availability and feasibility of specific accommodations.

The RAC examines the following:

• Whether an individual applicant or employee qualifies for accommodation under the Rehabilitation Act.
• Potential accommodations, including transfer or reassignment. (This requires the RAC working with the individual and management of the affected office.)
