6 Role 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 to:

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

The RAC examines whether an individual applicant or employee qualifies for accommodation under the Rehabilitation Act. Working with the individual and management of the affected office, the RAC also examines potential accommodations, including transfer or reassignment.
