The Duty to Accommodate

Nearly every employer will need to deal with a duty to accommodate and some point in time and have likely already been doing it for years. When we employ people, we accept the responsibilities that are contained within legislation, and we are guided by these provisions. This three hour in-person session focuses on the legislation that pertains to the duty to accommodate.
