The duty to accommodate in the Canadian workplace

23 Jun 2008

The essence of the duty to accommodate is straight-forward to state: employers and unions in Canada are required to make every reasonable effort, short of undue hardship, to accommodate an employee who comes under a protected ground of discrimination within human rights legislation. In most cases, the protected ground requiring an accommodation is a disability, although recent accommodation cases have involved other grounds such as religion, gender, and race.
