Procedures for Job Applicants Disability Accommodations

I. Invitation to Interview 

California State University, East Bay is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified applicants with disabilities.Applicants who need assistance or accommodations to participate in the interview process or complete the employment application process should contact Human Resources at 510-885-2335 or email: Accommodations@csueastbay.edu

II. During the Interview Process

During the interview process, applicants may not be asked questions that are likely to elicit information about a disability or that are closely related to whether an applicant has a disability. Applicants may, however, be asked whether they can perform any or all job functions, with or without reasonable accommodation.
Applicants may be asked whether they need a reasonable accommodation to perform the essential job functions, and the type of accommodation needed, if it is reasonably believed an accommodation is required due to an apparent disability or if the applicant has voluntarily disclosed a non-obvious disability.
Qualified applicants may not be denied employment solely because they require a reasonable accommodation. However, if an applicant who receives a tentative job offer cannot be reasonably accommodated, the offer may be rescinded.

 

III. After Receiving Job Offer

Applicants who have received a job offer may request workplace accommodations using the Employee Accommodation Request form

All accommodation requests will follow procedures outlined under the Faculty/Staff Accommodations procedures.

 

IV. Appeal Process

If an applicant disagrees with the initial decision regarding an accommodation request or believes an accommodation was not provided in a timely manner, the employee has a right to appeal using the following options.
Nothing in these procedures should be construed to impede or prohibit a timely filing of an ADA or discrimination complaint with the appropriate external government agency.

 

V. Retaliation

Retaliation against an applicant for requesting a disability accommodation or for filing a complaint or appeal with the Title IX Office is prohibited.
