Fresno State logo and Discovery. Diversity. Distinction. tagline

The California Fair Employment and Housing Act requires employers of five or more employees to provide reasonable accommodation for individuals with a physical or mental disability to perform the essential functions of their job unless it would cause an undue hardship. The law does not require the use of this or any other form to make a request for a reasonable accommodation. This form and any supporting materials or information is confidential and should be kept separate from an employee’s personnel file.
