In addition to accommodations provided in accordance with the ADA, the University of West Georgia (UWG) provides alternative work arrangements for employees in response to public health emergency guidance when it will enable the performance of the employee’s essential functions and when doing so does not create an undue hardship to the institution.
Employees who are requesting alternative work arrangements must complete and submit this request form along with designated supporting documentation to the institution’s Office of Human Resources.
• A confidential interactive discussion with Human Resources is encouraged for employees who are seeking reasonable accommodations.
• If more information is needed, the institution may request that you ask your health care provider to confirm your disability and/or the need for the requested alternative work arrangements.
• It is your responsibility to ensure that your health care provider statement or other supporting documentation is returned to the Office of Human Resources.
• You are not required to disclose to your immediate supervisor the medical basis for a requested alternative work arrangement. Medical records are confidential and maintained in the Office of Human
Resources only.
