Personal Assistance Services help employees with disabilities maintain independence at work by providing non-medical support for daily activities, such as:
- Help with dressing
- Help with eating
- Help using the restroom
These services are different from those that assist with job tasks. Employees needing PAS should follow the procedures in Personnel Bulletins 17-18 and 21-03.
The Bureau and Department offer PAS to employees who, because of targeted disabilities, require such assistance during work hours or to participate in work-related travel—unless doing so would pose an undue hardship. The Department’s reasonable accommodation policy is stated in Personnel Bulletin 17-18.
