Review information about the process for seeking a reasonable employee accommodation.

Our office facilitates reasonable accommodation needs for employees with disabilities. If you are interested in pursuing an accommodation/ adjustment, we will ask you to complete some brief registration forms.

If you would like to self identity please go to the HR/Pay website then go to Self Service-->Personal Information-->Disability
