As an applicant for employment with the University, we are required by law to notify you of the University's compliance with the Clery Act (see more in the Safety and Security section below) and the federal E-Verify System.

Safety and Security at UVA

Federal law requires the University to publish an Annual Security and Fire Safety Report. The report includes information on crime prevention, fire safety, University Police law enforcement authority, crime reporting policies, and statistics about crimes that occurred during the previous three years on Grounds or in designated areas near Grounds as well as in other locations specified by law. The document is available on the University’s Clery Act website. You may request a hard copy of the report from the University by writing to clery@virginia.edu.

Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Related Medical Issues

The University of Virginia does not unlawfully discriminate on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical issues. Employees may have a right to reasonable accommodation for known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical issues. Reach out to Human Resources – Employee Relations if you have limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical issues for which you seek an accommodation. You may be entitled to an interactive process to determine whether a specific accommodation is reasonable.

Virginia employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions, specifically including lactation. While accommodations that imposed an undue hardship on employers are not required, the following is a non-exhaustive list of accommodations considered reasonable:

• More frequent or longer bathroom breaks
• Breaks to express breast milk
• Access to a private location other than a bathroom for the expression of breast milk
• Acquisition or modification of equipment or access to or modification of employee seating
• A temporary transfer to a less strenuous or hazardous position
• Assistance with manual labor
• Job restructuring
• A modified work schedule
• Light duty assignments
• Leave to recover from childbirth

Employers are prohibited from taking adverse action against an employee who requests or uses a reasonable accommodation.

ATTENTION ALL MANAGERS: If any current employee reports a pregnancy (e.g. asks for time off related to prenatal care, mentions they are expecting, etc.), UVA is required to give the employee a notice of their rights within 10 days of the pregnancy disclosure. This is the responsibility of the employee's manager. See the Virginia Values Act webpage for details.
