Employee medical absences and accommodation requests can be challenging to navigate. Understanding what information employers can request, the obligations employers must meet, and the risks that can arise when the accommodation process breaks down is essential to managing these situations effectively.
This session will provide attendees with practical insights into how to manage accommodation requests and disability-related absences, including obtaining and assessing medical information, addressing situations where employees fail to meet their obligations, and responding to claims with the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board.
Our presenters will highlight common pitfalls, clarify the obligations of employers, and offer practical strategies for navigating accommodation issues while reducing legal risk and maintaining effective workplace operations.
