Employee Disability Accommodation Checklist | Practical Law

A Checklist to help employers understand and work through the disability accommodation process. Where an employee has a disability that interferes with performance of a job requirement, human rights legislation requires employers to accommodate the employee to the point of undue hardship. Accommodation refers to changing the workplace or the employee's working conditions in a way that ensures the employee is not unfairly excluded or disciplined based on the disability and the employee is assessed on actual abilities, rather than stereotypical assumptions. This Checklist addresses all jurisdictions in Canada.
