Physical ability necessary to safely and successfully perform the essential functions of the position, with or without any legally required reasonable accommodations that do not pose an undue hardship. Note: If the Company has reason to question an employee's physical ability to safely and/or successfully perform the position's essential job functions, the HR team generally will engage in an interactive process to determine whether a reasonable accommodation is appropriate. HR (working with the operation) ordinarily first speaks with the team member directly and they mutually identify the physical demands of the job that are or may be impacted by the employee's obvious or known condition. Then, if necessary, HR would request medical documentation from the team member's treating physician or others to confirm the employee's ability to perform those essential job functions safely and successfully.
