As a Human Resources Professional, you are no doubt aware that the issues surrounding an Employer's duty to accommodate are ever changing and ever expanding.
It is a fine balance that must be maintained; ensuring that employees are accommodated to the point of undue hardship while still making certain that the workplace remains productive. Our lawyers will review recent issues that are emerging in this continually changing landscape.
Topics that will be addressed in this update will include:
• Employer’s entitlement to employee’s medical information - Is it a prerequisite for entitlement to accommodation? Why are “nature of illness” and “diagnosis” treated differently?
• When should an Employer challenge medical evidence cited in support of accommodation? Can it be challenged successfully?
• What is the obligation to accommodate particular family situations?
• Does the addicted employee get a free pass for misconduct?
