Upcoming Seminar

Please join us for our next HReview breakfast seminar: ***

Topic:

Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act

This new law requires provincially regulated employers to comply with the requirements of a variety of Accessibility Standards - beyond the existing accommodation requirements in the Ontario Human Rights Code. Failure to comply may result in an administrative fine of up to $100,000.

Phase one involves the implementation of a Customer Service Accessibility Standard, requiring organizations to develop extensive policies and practices relating to the delivery of goods and services to people with disabilities, and to provide relevant training to staff. Public sector employers must be in full compliance by January 1, 2010; private sector employers by January 1, 2012.

At this HReview Seminar attendees will learn:

  1. What does the Customer Service Accessibility Standard require?
  2. Nuts and bolts of the policies and programs employers must have in place to comply with the Customer Service Accessibility Standard.
  3. Training must employers provide to employees?

THANK YOU to all who attended our most recent HReview Seminar held on Wednesday June 2, 2010. At the seminar we discussed:

Disability Related Misconduct: Discipline or Accommodation?

  1. Can an employer dismiss an employee for misconduct caused by a disability, or does the ‘duty to accommodate’ apply?
  2. Must an employer investigate whether a disability played a role in an employee’s misconduct prior to imposing discipline?
  3. Must an employee disclose a disability in order to trigger accommodation?
  4. Are last chance agreements enforceable?
  5. Can an employer require an employee who has been involved in addiction-related misconduct to undergo random drug testing?
