An individual is qualified if he or she can perform the essential functions of a job with or without reasonable accommodation. An essential job function is any task that is a fundamental part of the job. When considering essentiality, one must focus upon
whether the function is essential to this particular job and not to the department as a whole. Some additional guidance on essential functions follows below. Please note that the following guidelines are non-exhaustive. If you have any questions or need
additional guidance, please contact Human Resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The need for special expertise is an indication of an essential function.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:18.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">C. Does the position exist, at least in part, to perform the function? If so, the function is more likely to be essential.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:18.0pt;background:white"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">D. How much time is spent performing the function and how often? Note that even functions performed 10% of the time could
be essential if they are required on a regular basis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
