What is required from an employer to meet its duty to accommodate?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Coulter v. Purolator Courier Ltd., 2004 CHRT 37 (CanLII):
More than just meagre effort is required from the employer to meet its duty to accommodate. Accommodation is not limited to simply determining whether a complainant is capable of performing his/her current work. The employer is responsible for initiating the accommodation process. [See Conte v. Rogers Cablesystems Ltd., T.D. 4/99, decision rendered on November 10, 1999.]
