Common use of Interactive Process Clause in Contracts

Interactive Process. Upon receipt of a reasonable accommodation request, the Agency and the non-FTE Fellow will engage in an interactive process. This is an informal, flexible dialogue that focuses on clarifying the individual's needs and exploring potential accommodations to assist in identifying effective reasonable accommodation(s). This process should identify the limitations resulting from the disability and potential reasonable accommodations that could overcome those limitations. A non-FTE Fellow may choose to have a Union representative present during the interactive process. The interactive process begins with the request, continues throughout the eligibility determination, and concludes with the final reasonable accommodation decision, as described below. It will sometimes be necessary to analyze the particular essential fellowship activities of the non-FTE Fellow’s award.
