| THE
ISSUES: | Some
of the questions to be addressed: - Are
last chance agreements consistent with the duty to accommodate? Do they constitute
an effective accommodation strategy, whether legally binding or not?
- In
cases of addiction, should a last chance agreement allow for relapses? Does an
agreement that does not allow for relapses constitute discrimination?
- Are
last chance agreements binding following transfer to a new employer?
- In
what circumstances will arbitrators interfere with last chance agreements?
- Is
a requirement for average attendance in a last chance agreement legally valid
or does it constitute discrimination? In calculating average attendance, can non-culpable
absences (e.g. due to disability) be counted?
