Understanding the Duty to Accommodate: Employer and Employee Rights

What is the duty to accommodate under the Human Rights Code? In this video, Richard Johnson, employment lawyer and co-founder of Ascent Employment Law, breaks down the duty to accommodate under Section 13 of the Human Rights Code.

The duty to accommodate is one of the most important concepts in employment law. It protects employees from discrimination based on factors such as sex, gender identity or expression, disability, and age. Richard explains what accommodation means in the workplace, when employers are required to provide it, and what “undue hardship” really looks like.
