What duty does an employer have to accommodate a child?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Havard v. Treasury Board (Correctional Service of Canada), 2019 FPSLREB 36 (CanLII):
69 The CHRA provides protection against discrimination with respect to the choice to have children. The duty to accommodate this choice is very broadly based. The employer was obligated to work with the grievor to create a workable solution that balanced her parental obligations with her work opportunities, short of undue hardship (see Johnstone v. Canada Border Services Agency, 2010 CHRT 20 at paras. 231 to 233).
