CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT Americans with Disabilities Act Statement On July 13, 1990, Congress passed the ADA, which makes it unlawful for employers to discriminate against disabled individuals in regard to hiring, firing, compensation, training and advancement. Enforced by the EEOC, the Act is very specific regarding categories of disabled persons who are protected and definitions of commonly recognized disabilities. Unlike Section 504, the ADA is not limited to companies receiving federal aid or participating in federally connected programs. Criminal Background Checks Policy ADM-HRR-PL-011, Criminal Background Checks Policy Classified New Hire 90 Day Probation Statement Any classified employees hired on April 16th or later, are not eligible for the salary increase given on July 1st of that same fiscal year. For example, a classified employee hired on April 16, 2017, would be eligible based on their satisfactory evaluation for the salary increase given on July 1, 2018 for the following fiscal year. Orientation and/or In-Service Training In-service training and/or orientation may be prescribed for new or reassigned employees prior to their assignment to a job. In-service training for current employees must be approved by the appropriate supervisor to minimize disruption to the work environment. Employment of the Handicapped Statement Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Section 504 provides that "no otherwise qualified handicapped individual . . . shall, solely by reason of his handicap, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance." It, therefore, represents the first federal civil rights law protecting the rights of handicapped persons and reflects a national commitment to end discrimination on the basis of handicap. A "handicapped individual" is defined as "any person who (a) has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities, (b) has a record of such impairment, or (c) is regarded as having such impairment."
