Disability management is a persistent and complex workplace issue that arises for employers of all sizes. In this presentation, we'll examine the following topics, among others:

  • The duty to accommodate, including procedural and substantive obligations
  • Limits to the duty to accommodate
  • Responsibilities of the union and employees in the accommodation process
  • The threshold for establishing undue hardship
  • Attendance management best practices
  • Frustration of contract
  • Dealing with mental health issues in the workplace

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand recent and developing trends in human rights jurisprudence.
  • Develop a framework for addressing accommodation issues.
  • Identify accommodation issues that can present significant liability to your organization.

A “no show/late cancellation” fee will be charged if cancellation is not provided to chaptercancellations@hrpa.ca at least 3 business days in advance.
