Self-identification of disability and veteran status
Update any time via Workday
As a federal contractor, the University of Miami is required to invite all employees to self-identify their disability status at least once every five years per federal laws and regulations pertaining to equal employment and affirmative action. University employees are not required to provide their disability status as a condition of continued employment, but if they choose to they may volunteer to self-identify their disability and/or veteran status at any time through the Personal Information page in Workday. Learn more. For questions about the protected veteran or disability status self-identification process, contact Human Resources Workplace Equity and Performance office at wep@miami.edu.
