Orange County Personnel Rules and Regulations Manual Issue Date: 6/22/2011 4 <br />III. RULE <br />The purpose of this rule is to implement and give effect to Article II, Section 9.0 of the Orange <br />County Personnel Ordinance "Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act ( ADAAA)." <br />This policy is intended to carry out the purpose of the Orange County Personnel Ordinance <br />Article II, Section 9.0 and to comply with applicable state and federal regulations governing <br />disability discrimination. All state and local government employers with 15 or more employees <br />are required to comply with the ADAAA. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission <br />(EEOC) has enforcement authority for the employment provisions of the ADAAA. These <br />Administrative Rules and Procedures provide consistent application of the Ordinance to ensure <br />that Orange County employees are treated in a manner that equals or exceeds the requirement of <br />the ADAAA and any amendments thereto. <br />IV. ADNIINISTRATIVE RULES AND REGULATIONS <br />A. This policy applies to all qualified individuals with a disability who are employees or <br />applicants. The ADAAA requires the County to take specific steps to ensure that an <br />individual with a disability does not experience discrimination in the employment <br />process. The County will provide reasonable accommodation to an employee or job <br />applicant with a disability, unless doing so would cause significant difficulty or expense <br />for the County ( "undue hardship "). In addition, the ADA guarantees equal opportunity <br />for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, <br />State and local government services, and telecommunications. All supervisors of Orange <br />County must be familiar with the provisions of the ADAAA and are expected to adhere <br />to it when making employment or service delivery decisions. <br />B. Definitions <br />1. Disability: <br />a. A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life <br />activities (sometimes referred to in the regulations as an "actual disability "), or <br />b. a record of a physical or mental impairment that substantially limited a major life <br />activity ( "record of'), or <br />c. when an employer takes an action prohibited by the ADA because of an actual or <br />perceived impairment that is not both transitory and minor ( "regarded as "). <br />The definition of disability will be interpreted broadly. Mitigating measures other <br />than ordinary eyeglasses or contact lenses shall not be considered when assessing <br />whether an individual has a disability. In addition, impairment that is episodic or in <br />remission is a disability if it would substantially limit a major life activity when <br />active. <br />Page 2 <br />
