Nondiscrimination Against and Accommodation of Individuals with Disabilities

Empora Title complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and applicable state and local laws providing for nondiscrimination in employment against qualified individuals with disabilities or handicaps. Empora Title also provides reasonable accommodations for such individuals in accordance with these laws. It is Empora Title’s policy to, without limitation:

  • Ensure that qualified individuals with disabilities are treated in a nondiscriminatory manner in the pre-employment process and that Employees with disabilities are treated in a nondiscriminatory manner in all terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.
  • Administer medical examinations (a) to applicants only after conditional offers of employment have been extended, and (b) toEmployees only when justified by business necessity.
  • Keep all medical-related information confidential in accordance with the requirements of the ADA and retain such information in separate confidential files. 
  • Provide applicants and Employees with disabilities with reasonable accommodation except where such an accommodation would create an undue hardship on Empora Title.
  • Notify individuals with disabilities that Empora Title provides reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, by including this policy in Empora Title’s Employment Handbook and by posting the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s poster on nondiscrimination against individuals with disabilities and other protected groups conspicuously on Empora Title’s premises.

 

Procedure for Requesting an Accommodation

Qualified individuals with disabilities may make requests for reasonable accommodation so as to enable a qualified individual with a disability to be able to perform the essential functions of their job.

Empora Title has partnered with an outside organization – Disclo – to assist us in processing and handling employee accommodation requests. Disclo is an organization with experience assessing accommodation requests and helping to process accommodation requests and the related information needed from an employee’s healthcare provider in a confidential and appropriate manner.

If an employee wishes to request an accommodation of their disability, the employee should visit https://www.disclo.com/landing/empora to begin.

While Empora Title cannot guarantee that any particular accommodation will be granted, upon receipt of an accommodation request, a designated representative of Disclo will engage in an interactive process with the requesting individual to discuss and identify the precise limitations resulting from the disability and the potential accommodation that Empora Title might make to help overcome those limitations. Per the Company’s policies on Telecommuting and Remote Work, in proper circumstances, remote work may be considered as a reasonable accommodation for an employee with a disability; however, in-person attendance may be an essential job function for certain positions. Employees who request accommodations are expected to cooperate in this interactive process along with Disclo, including providing requested information regarding his or her disability or impairment in a timely manner and/or requesting his or her health care provider to provide such information.  All information will be retained in confidence by Disclo and Empora Title to the extent any such information needs to be shared with Empora Title. Retaliation against Employees who present requests for accommodation under this policy is strictly prohibited.

Empora Title, with the assistance of Disclo, will determine the feasibility of the requested accommodation and whether such accommodation(s) may constitute an undue hardship on the Company, considering various factors, including, but not limited to, the nature and cost of the accommodation, the availability of tax credits and deductions, outside funding,Empora Title’s overall financial resources and organization, and the accommodation’s impact on the operation of Empora Title, including its impact on the ability of other Employees to perform their duties and on Empora Title’s ability to conduct business. All Employees, regardless of disability status, are expected to perform the essential functions of their jobs.
