long-term absence from work

By Stringer LLP | 3 Minutes Read May 13, 2016

It takes two to tango: Superior Court rules on employees’ duty to facilitate in the accommodation process

Employers have a duty to accommodate employees with disabilities to the point of undue hardship, including facilitating the return to work of employees who require disability-related accommodation. An important aspect of this duty is procedural, i.e. the steps taken to search for a reasonable accommodation. Even if an employer ultimately cannot accommodate without undue hardship, failure to engage in the procedural aspect of the duty to accommodate is a violation of the Human Rights Code.
