ADA AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY POLICIES

ADA STATEMENT OF POLICY

It is the policy of the City of Tallahassee to promote the comprehensive realization of equal opportunity by providing equally effective reasonable accommodation to all applicants, employees and residents with disabilities, unless doing so imposes an undue hardship on the City organization or program, or would be a direct threat to the individual or others in the program or in the City organization.

The efforts of the City extend beyond the requirements of ADA based on its commitment to create a stable workforce but are not intended to provide greater benefits than those specified by law.

Specifically, the City resolves to carry out the intent of the ADA through a willingness to reasonably accommodate qualified applicants, employees and residents with disabilities, whether hidden or manifest. To this extent, creativity and flexibility in the modification of processes related to applying for positions and performing essential functions of jobs and accessibility to programs, services, and activities would be considered to reasonably accommodate persons with disabilities. Assistant City Managers, the leadership team, division directors, and supervisors are specifically responsible within their particular organizations for publicizing and enforcing this policy.

 

ADA Accommodation

The City is resolute in carrying out the intent of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). As an organization, we strive to provide effective reasonable accommodation in employment and reasonable access to City programs, services and activities for persons with disabilities.

The Office of Diversity & Inclusion processes all requests for reasonable accommodation. From 2019 to 2020, ADA accommodation requests increased by 53%.

EEO Compliance

We are committed to equal employment opportunity (EEO) – providing a workplace free from discrimination and harassment and maintaining an environment that recognizes the inherent worth and dignity of every individual.

The Office of Diversity & Inclusion ensures that all officials, employees, applicants for employment, volunteers, vendors, independent contractors and participants in City services are informed of the City’s equal opportunity policies through policy dissemination and training. Complaints filed under these policies are promptly and impartially investigated.

 

The City’s equal opportunity and reasonable accommodation policies, as well as information for individuals who wish to report concerns of discrimination or harassment or who wish to request a reasonable accommodation or modification, can be found at Talgov.com.
