Information for Managers
Duke Access and Accommodation Services (formally Disability Management System) works closely with Employee Managers and Supervisors across the University and Health System during the interactive reasonable accommodation process. Managers have certain responsibilities as part of the process.
Pregnancy Accommodations
Duke University is dedicated to providing an accessible and inclusive environment for all faculty and staff. This includes providing employees with reasonable accommodations to address limitations they may experience due to pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical issue to activities pursuant to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act.
Voluntary Self-Identification
Voluntarily self-identifying is a good thing - it's how things change. This video explains why companies doing business with the federal government ask job applicants and employees to voluntarily self-identify if they have a disability, and the important role that self-identifying plays in ensuring equal employment opportunity for people with disabilities.
- Review the Voluntary Self-Identification form that is used at Duke University to help ensure equal opportunities for people with disabilities.
