Office of Equal Opportunity - ADA Accommodations for Employees and Applicants
SHA is committed to providing equal employment opportunity and access for qualified individuals with disabilities. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, SHA will provide reasonable accommodations to qualified employees and applicants with a disability unless doing so would cause undue hardship on the agency.
The ADA Reasonable Accommodation Program is administered by the Office of Equal Opportunity to ensure compliance with federal and state laws, promote accessibility in the workplace, and support SHA’s mission to foster an inclusive and equitable work environment.
A reasonable accommodation is:
- Modification(s) or adjustment(s) to a job application process that enable a qualified applicant with a disability to be considered for the position such qualified applicant desires; or
- Modification(s), adjustment(s), or change(s) to a job or work environment or to the manner or circumstances under which the position held or desired is customarily performed that enable a qualified individual with a disability to perform the essential functions of that position; or
- Modification(s) or adjustment(s) that enable an employee with a disability to enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment as are enjoyed by other similarly situated employees.
SHA employees or applicants who require reasonable accommodation may contact the Office of Equal Opportunity, at 410-545-0319 for more information. In addition, for more information, please see the Maryland Reasonable Accommodation Policy and Procedures.
