Challenge:

Federal Agencies need a vendor with a system in place to fulfill the new requirements for Personal Assistance Services (PAS).

Solution:

Precision with years of national past performance working with Federal Agencies, provides turn-key day-on-ready PAS Service throughout the country. Precisions team is staffed with compassionate, qualified assistants providing services for employees with disabilities at the office, during telework at home and on travel both nationally and internationally (CONUS and OCONUS).

What is PAS?

PAS (Personal Assistance Services) provides assistance with performing activities of daily living that an individual would typically perform if he or she did not have a disability, similar to home caregivers or paraprofessionals.

This is in support of The US Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) to “Drive Change and Create Opportunity.” For federal employees, PAS may only be provided to those with a “targeted disability”, which the Federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM) lists to include:

deafness
blindness
missing extremities
partial paralysis
complete paralysis
convulsive disorders
intellectual disabilities
mental illness; and
distortion of limb and/or spine.

Those receiving the services include current employees, visitors, and job applicants who need assistance in performing activities of daily living to ensure that those individuals have equal employment opportunities and equal access to, and in, all relevant facilities, by providing assistance.

PAS Procedures:

On January 3, 2017, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued a Final Rule amending the regulations implementing Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. (29 C.F.R. §§ 1614.203, 601(f))
PAS allow employees to participate in the workplace.
PAS means assistance with performing activities of daily living that an individual would typically perform if he or she did not have a disability, and that is not otherwise required as a reasonable accommodation.
All Federal Agencies are required to provide PAS as a form of affirmative action that goes beyond nondiscrimination obligations.
All Federal Agencies are required to provide PAS to current employees and future employees.
