Utah's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities

Utah's Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities This site is dedicated to assist and encourage the hiring of people with disabilities. We're here to help facilitate getting good people put to work!

If you are an employer seeking information on hiring a disabled worker or looking for assistance, we have assembled here all the resources you need. For disabled workers, we've also gathered together resources and contacts to help you find the job you want and are qualified to perform. Please give us a call or shoot us an email and we'd be glad to assist you. People with disabilities are an overlo

oked pool of potential for employers. Thirty four years after the Americans with Disabilities Act took effect, only one-third of disabled Americans are employed, even though more than two-thirds of unemployed people with disabilities say they would like to work. We must turn this pool into an ocean of opportunity. How we do that depends on employers changing their attitudes about hiring people with disabilities -- and that means getting the facts straight.

Happy National Caregivers Month! This November, take the time to recognize and support caregivers who makes every day brighter for those in need. Also, the ADA does prohibit discrimination based on relationship or association in order to protect individuals from actions based on assumptions that their relationship to a person with a disability would affect their job performance, and from actions caused by bias or misinformation concerning certain disabilities.

Employee work areas are required to have accessible approach, entry, and exist, but are otherwise generally excepted from having to be designed as physically accessible. Employee work areas are spaces where actual work is being performed. Machinery spaces, backroom inventory spaces, and catwalks are examples of areas that may require a specific layout or practice that preclude access. Qualified people with disabilities should be able to work in and around these spaces with reasonable accommodation. Restrooms, breakrooms, and employee parking are not places where actual work is being performed and should be designed accessible. Voluntarily providing non-accessible features during the construction phase of a facility may be less expensive and more effective in the long run than attempting to do so after the fact.
