Factors considered include disability related accommodations, change in facility size or customer base. When possible, such employees shall be blind. All facilities will operate as competitive integrated worksites. The manager shall not depend on the goodwill or friendly services of the employees of the building to operate the facility during any absence.2. Each manager shall locate and train at least one substitute for vacation, during illness or any period when an emergency substitute is necessary.
