Policy on Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, ADAAA) 

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act, known as the ADAAA, are federal laws that require employers with 15 or more employees to not discriminate against applicants and individuals with disabilities and, when needed, to provide reasonable accommodations to applicants and employees who are qualified for a job, with or without reasonable accommodations, so that they may perform the essential job duties of the position.

It is the policy of Suburban Testing Labs to comply with all federal and state laws concerning the employment of persons with disabilities and act in accordance with regulations and guidance issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Furthermore, it is our Company policy not to discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities regarding application procedures, hiring, advancement, discharge, compensation, training or other terms, conditions and privileges of employment.

When an individual with a disability is requesting accommodation and can be reasonably accommodated without creating an undue hardship or causing a direct threat to workplace safety, he or she will be given the same consideration for employment as any other applicant. Applicants who pose a direct threat to the health, safety and well-being of themselves or others in the workplace when the threat cannot be eliminated by reasonable accommodation will not be hired.

Suburban Testing Labs will reasonably accommodate qualified individuals with a disability so that they can perform the essential functions of a job unless doing so causes a direct threat to these individuals or others in the workplace and the threat cannot be eliminated by reasonable accommodation and/or if the accommodation creates an undue hardship to Suburban Testing Labs. Contact Human Resources with any questions or requests for accommodation.  

All employees are required to comply with the Company safety standards. Current employees who pose a direct threat to the health and/or safety of themselves or other individuals in the workplace will be placed on appropriate leave until an organizational decision has been made regarding the employees’ immediate employment situation. Individuals who are currently using illegal drugs are excluded from coverage under the Company ADA policy.

Procedure for Requesting Accommodation

Suburban Testing Labs’ objective is to follow employment guidelines in accordance with federal, state, and local laws and regulations.  Suburban Testing Labs will not discriminate in any scope of the employment process against any individual with a disability, who meets the skills, experience, education and other job-related requirements of the position that they are applying for or held previously and who can perform the essential functions of the position with or without reasonable accommodation.

  1. Any employee that feels that an accommodation will enable them to perform their job more safely and efficiently, which may include changes in the job, additional help, special equipment, or any other accommodation is requested to provide information pertaining to any accommodation requested.

  2. Any disclosure of a disability or a request for an accommodation should be directed to Company Management in the office. 

The Company follows the ADA requirements specified by law for such disabilities and makes reasonable accommodations unless the accommodation would create an undue hardship on the Company.
