To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have or have ever had a disability or have ever had a disability? People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it.
