Have you heard about an Interactive Process Meeting (IPM) and didn't know what it was?

The interactive process is the collaborative effort involving the employer, employee and the employee’s supervisor to discuss information about the nature of the disability and the limitations that may affect the employee’s ability to perform the essential job duties due to a work or non-work-related injury, disease or disorder. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 mandates that all employers must engage in an interactive process to determine if a reasonable accommodation of the employee’s disability can be made.

At MCOE, we engage in the interactive process as a good-faith effort to discuss the limitations and/or performance issues an employee’s disability may pose. The purpose of this discussion is to determine what (if any) accommodation may be needed. The Human Resources Department will contact the employee and the employee’s supervisor whenever an IPM is needed. This process is not meant to be intimidating or disciplinary in nature.

MCOE is committed to keep an open, collaborative and effective line of communication with its employees relating to the IPM process.
