Thanks for that, I have made the following changes. I'm not sure what counts as a proper sentence, the first bullet points obviously are not, but what about the last set? Also I'm not sure about the Volunteers line, so I left full stop out. I am getting marked on punctuation as well as spelling and just using the checker you get with Microsoft Word is far from being foolproof.
All the following types of employees are covered:
- Temporary
- Permanent
- Part-Time
- Contract Workers
People who are not covered are:
- Volunteers - unless otherwise stated in their contracts
- Workers in the Armed Forces
The employer has a duty to make reasonable adjustments at work so a disabled person is not placed at a disadvantage. This may include:
- Modifying the building and office equipment - e.g 'placing a ramp outside'.
- Positioning certain staff on the ground floor, if no lifts are in place.
- Being flexible with office hours and time off for e.g medical treatment.
The term 'making reasonable adjustment' is not specifically defined by the act. The employer has to think about areas such as:
- The practicality of making the changes
- How long it will take
- The cost involved
- Any possible disruptions caused
