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?
