Accommodation

This chapter is designed for managers to help them understand the laws, hiring authorities, and technical aspects of recruiting, hiring, and retaining employees with disabilities. Certain hiring authorities can be utilized to bring highly qualified people with disabilities into Federal employment rather quickly and managers are encouraged to become familiar with them and utilize them to the greatest extent possible. Information about interviewing people with disabilities, the roles of selective placement coordinators, and the certification process are also included.

The frequently asked questions (FAQs) address issues such as the advantages of hiring people with disabilities, special hiring authorities, rating people with disabilities, and providing reasonable accommodations when they are needed.
