We will provide qualified associates who have a disability or who have known limitations related to, affected by, or arising out of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions with reasonable accommodations to enable them to perform their jobs, seek new jobs within Walmart, and enjoy the benefits of employment. Walmart will also provide reasonable accommodations during the hiring process to qualified job applicants with a disability or for known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.  \nThis document provides a summary of the Management Guidelines and directives for responding to associate requests for job assistance per the Accommodation in Employment (Medical-Related) Policy.  \nIMPORTANT NOTIFICATION: If the associate's request for job assistance is accompanied by a note from the associate's health care provider that indicates the associate cannot perform the essential functions of their job, or if the associate specifically indicates they cannot perform an essential function of their job, do not immediately place the associate on Leave of Absence (LOA). If the associate is unable to perform the essential job functions, you should determine if there is an open posted vacant job in your facility the associate can satisfactorily and safely perform during the request process. The associate may be placed on LOA if there is no such open vacant position in your facility. Contact the Accommodation Service Center (ASC) at 855-489-1600 for further assistance.  \nIMPORTANT! If the associate’s request is due to a known limitation related to, affected by, or arising out of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions the associate should not be placed on LOA unless they have requested leave. Rather, they should be provided the requested accommodation on an interim basis until a formal determination is made. Contact ASC at 855-489-1600 for further assistance.  \nCalifornia Notice: Pregnancy, Childbirth, Breastfeeding, or Related  \nMedical Conditions  \nYou must give an associate a copy of the California notice \"Your Rights and Obligations as a Pregnant Employee\" as soon as either of the following occurs: 1) The associate informs you that she is pregnant; 2) The associate inquires about reasonable accommodation, transfer, or pregnancy disability leave. In addition, the \"Breastfeeding Mothers' Support Policy-California\" should be provided to an associate when they make a parental or pregnancy leave inquiry.  \n2024 Accommodation Advisor Packet – Walmart/Sam’s Club | 080724A 1  \nConfidential – Internal Use Only | ©2024 Walmart Inc.  \nAccommodation Advisor Review Process  \nSTEP 1: Interactive Discussion Required-It is important that you engage in an interactive process to obtain information that will assist the company in better understanding the associate's accommodation needs. Walmart welcomes your accommodation suggestions. Interactive discussions should be ongoing and includes answering their questions whenever possible. Associates can always be directed back to ASC.  \nSTEP 2: Identifying a Request for Job Assistance-An associate may request job assistance in a variety of ways. They may make the request directly, or a family member, friend, job coach, health professional, or other person may make a request on an associate's behalf. The request may be made verbally or in writing. The request does not have to include the words “reasonable” or “accommodation”. The need for accommodation assistance must relate to the associate’s medical condition.  \nSTEP 3: Job Adjustment (JA) Review and Approval -Any request for accommodation should first be reviewed as a job adjustment [refer to the Accommodation in Employment (Medical-Related) Management Guidelines].
