Case 18-2868, Document 278, 08/09/2019, 2628230, Page285 of 648 AIDS POLICY The Club recognizes that Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), its related conditions such as AIDS Related Complex (ARC), and persons with seropositive test results pose significant and delicate issues for employees in the workplace. Accordingly, we have established the following guidelines for handling employee issues that arise when an employee is affected by this disease. (1) The Club is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for all employees. (2) Consistent with this commitment, the Club will treat AIDS the same as other illnesses in terms of all our employee policies and benefits, such as group health and disability benefits. (3) Based on the overwhelming preponderance of available medical and scientific opinion, including statements from the U.S. Public Health Service, Centers for Disease Control, there is no evidence that the AIDS virus is casually transmitted in ordinary social or occupational settings or conditions. Therefore, subject to changes in available medical information, it is the policy of the Club that employees with AIDS or any of its related conditions may continue to work and the Club will provide them with reasonable accommodation as long as they are medically able to perform the duties of their position. (4) Employees who are affected by AIDS or any other life-threatening illness will be treated with compassion and understanding in dealing with their personal crises. Co-workers will be expected to not refuse to work or withhold their services for fear of contracting AIDS by working with an AIDS affected person, and to not harass or otherwise discriminate against an AIDS-affected employee. (5) Recognizing the need for all employees to be able to be accurately informed about AIDS, upon request, the Club will make every effort to have information available regarding the facts about this disease, how it is transmitted and not transmitted and how best to contain it from spreading. Employees affected by AIDS or any of its related conditions or concerned about AIDS are encouraged to contact Human Resources Manager to discuss their concerns and to obtain additional information. (6) The Club will treat all medical information obtained from employees with AIDS or any of its related conditions confidentially as required by law. The Club reserves the right to change this policy or make appropriate revisions, additions, amendments or corrections. We will notify you of any substantive changes. MAR-A-LAGO 0231
