Certification

When requesting a reasonable accommodation, you may be asked to provide a written statement signed by you or an individual acting on your behalf, certifying that the accommodation is for an authorized purpose. You may also be asked to provide documentation that demonstrates your status as a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, or other qualifying act of violence, such as: A court order protecting or separating you or your family member from the perpetrator of the qualifying act of violence, or other evidence from a court or prosecuting attorney that you or your family member has appeared in court.   A police report showing that you or your family member was a victim.  Documentation from a licensed medical professional, domestic violence counselor, sexual assault counselor, victim advocate, licensed healthcare provider, or counselor showing that you or your family member was undergoing treatment or seeking or receiving services directly related to the qualifying act of violence.  Any other form of documentation that reasonably verifies that a qualifying act of violence occurred. The Company may require recertification every six months. If you no longer need an accommodation, you must notify the Company that the accommodation is no longer needed. If circumstances change and you need a new accommodation, you must request one.

Confidentiality

Information related to your request for an accommodation will be maintained as confidential and will not be disclosed except as required by law or as necessary to protect your safety in the workplace. You will be provided notice before any authorized disclosure.

Retaliation

The Company will not discriminate or retaliate against you due to your status, or your family member’s status, as a victim or for requesting or obtaining an accommodation in accordance with this policy. Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Accommodation CREA, LLC will reasonably accommodate employees who wish to participate in an alcohol or drug rehabilitation program voluntarily, provided that the accommodation will not impose an undue hardship on the Company. A reasonable accommodation may include unpaid time off. If you have a serious health condition and are otherwise eligible, time off for alcohol and/or drug rehabilitation may also be covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or the California Family Rights Act (CFRA). If so, the Company will request approval and medical certification as it would for FMLA and CFRA leave requests, and the leaves will run concurrently. You may use accrued sick days, if any, for all or part of the time spent in entering or participating in a rehabilitation program. The Company may discharge or refuse to hire an individual because of their current use of alcohol and/or drugs, because they are unable to perform their duties, or because they cannot perform their duties in a manner that would not endanger their own or another's health and safety. Requests to participate in a rehabilitation program will be kept confidential. Direct all requests to participate in a rehabilitation program to Human Resources. The Company will not retaliate against employees who request or obtain an accommodation in accordance with this policy. Benefits Reproductive Loss Leave CREA, LLC will provide eligible employees up to five days of unpaid reproductive loss leave in accordance with the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.
