THE ISSUES:

Some of the questions addressed:

  • What does workers' compensation legislation require of an employer when an injured worker claims an ability to return to work?

  • When is the return to work obligation exhausted under workers' compensation legislation?

  • What options other than a return to work will be considered by workers' compensation boards?

  • What does human rights legislation require of an employer when an injured worker is able to return to work?

  • Does a finding by a workers' compensation board that an employer has met its obligations under the legislation mean that the duty to accommodate has been met?

  • Is the dismissal of a claim by a workers' compensation board binding upon an arbitrator?

  • What best practices should employers adopt to ensure that both workers' compensation and human rights obligations are satisfied in the accommodation process?
