Attrell Toyota will take the following steps to develop and implement processes for individual accommodation plans and return-to-work policies for employees that have been absent due to a disability:
- Require that requests for accommodation be sent directly to Hiring Manager and require employees to submit supporting medical documentation. To ensure employee privacy is protected, specific details regarding accommodation will only be discussed with the Department Manager and the HR Manager
- Ensure accommodation and return to work plans are developed based on physician recommendations and business needs up to undue hardship.
- Individual accommodation plans will be evaluated monthly by the HR Manager and Department Manager. Further supporting medical documentation may be requested.
- If a request for accommodation is denied, the HR Manager and Department Manager will communicate the decision and reasons directly to employee.
If Attrell Toyota is using performance management, career development and redeployment processes, we will assess the individual’s capabilities and evaluate against position job description to ensure the accessibility needs of employees with disabilities needs are taken into account.
