What We Do
This University program is available to assist faculty and staff to remain working or return to work when a medical condition or disability interferes with the ability to perform job duties.
Disability Management efforts are dedicated to reducing the human and fiscal cost of workplace disability to UCD. The University recognizes employees prefer to work, earning full income and gaining satisfaction from what they do. Assisting individuals with medical conditions which affect their work helps retain competent, trained University employees. This is accomplished by:
- Providing educational and early intervention services to prevent or minimize the effects of disability in the workplace.
- Assisting employees with disabilities in overcoming disability-related restrictions or limitation.
- Implementing UC Policy and Collective Bargaining Agreements regarding return to work, reasonable accommodation and medical separation.
- Utilizing an interactive process in consulting with employee, management and other Human Resource units regarding workplace disability issues.
