2. Equal Employment Opportunity (continued)

Any employee who requires an accommodation in order to perform the essential functions of the job should contact their supervisor to request such an accommodation. The individual with the disability should specify what accommodation he or she needs to perform the job. Erwine Home Health and Hospice then will conduct an investigation to identify the barriers that interfere with the equal opportunity of the applicant or employee to perform his or her job. Erwine Home Health and Hospice will identify possible accommodations, if any, that will help eliminate the limitation. If the accommodation is reasonable and will not impose an undue hardship, Erwine Home Health and Hospice will make the accommodation.
