Statement of Employment Policy

Neither this Handbook nor any other SPACE document confers any contractual right; either express or implied, to remain in SPACE’s employ.

Policy of Non-discrimination Against Individuals With Disabilities

SPACE on Ryder Farm is committed to complying with all applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), its amendments, and equivalent state and local laws. It is SPACE’s policy not to discriminate against any qualified employee or applicant with regard to any terms or conditions of employment because of such individual’s disability or perceived disability so long as the employee can perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation. Consistent with this policy of non-discrimination, SPACE will provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with a disability, as defined by the ADA and its equivalent state and local laws, who have made SPACE aware of their disability, provided that such accommodations do not constitute an undue hardship on SPACE. 

Employees with a disability who believe they need a reasonable accommodation to perform the essential functions of their job should contact the Executive Director or Chief Operating Officer.
