In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), it is the policy of TUMEC to offer employment opportunities to qualified disabled persons for jobs within their capabilities to perform in a safe and reasonable manner, provided that their disability is known or should have been known by TUMEC. Reasonable accommodations in the work environment are made when required for successful placement. TUMEC does not discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities because of disability of such individual in regard to job application procedures, hiring, advancement, discharge of employees, employee compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.
A disabled person will be qualified for a position at TUMEC if he/she can perform the essential functions of the employment position in a reasonable manner. Proper placement means using the “whole person” concept, assessing the candidate on the basis of his or her total capacity, experience, training, aptitudes, skills, and physical qualifications. All of these factors will be considered in order to place a qualified disabled person in a job where the impairment does not interfere with job performance.
