To ensure MCL is meeting employment standards we will:

Train hiring managers to ensure that accommodations are offered and made available throughout the interview process
2.b) Workplace Emergency Response Information
When individualized information is necessary to accommodate a disability, and MCL is aware of the need for accommodation, we will provide individualized workplace emergency response information to employees.
Should there be an employee who requires an individualized workplace emergency response information requires assistance, MCL will designate an individual to provide assistance and, with the employee’s consent, MCL will provide the workplace emergency response information to that individual.
MCL will review individualized workplace emergency response information at minimum whenever:
The employee moves to a different location within the company
The employee’s overall accommodation needs or plans are reviewed
MCL reviews its general emergency response policies
2.c) Accommodation Plans and Return to Work
MCL will maintain the process for developing individualized accommodation plans and return to work plans for employees that have been absent due to a disability. MCL will:
Work to identify those employees that require an individualized accommodation plan and involve them in the development of said plan which outlines the accommodations we will provide
Provide plans in accessible formats
Keep all individualized accommodation plan information confidential
MCL’s Accommodation and Return to Work Policies document the steps that are taken to develop an individual accommodation plan and facilitate the return to work of employees who are away from work due to a disability.
