Document background
An Employee Accommodation Agreement is essential when implementing workplace accommodations in Canadian organizations. This document is utilized when an employee requires modifications to their work environment, duties, or schedule due to protected grounds under human rights legislation. The agreement ensures compliance with federal and provincial human rights laws, occupational health and safety regulations, and privacy legislation. It should be implemented when there is a need to formally document the accommodation process, outlining specific measures agreed upon, implementation timelines, review procedures, and responsibilities of all parties involved. The document serves as evidence of the employer's commitment to providing reasonable accommodation and protects both parties by clearly defining expectations and obligations.
