Anti-Disability Discrimination and Reasonable Accommodation Policy - CA

« Back to Canada Handbook

The Company is committed to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as applicable state and local laws that prohibit disability discrimination, and ensuring equal opportunity in employment for all individuals who are able to perform the essential functions or duties of their job, with or without reasonable accommodation. All employment practices (including recruiting, hiring, compensation, promotion, discipline, termination or any other aspect of employment) are conducted on a non-discriminatory basis without regard to disability.

The Company provides reasonable accommodation to the known physical or mental limitations of a qualified individual with a disability unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship to the Company. Reasonable accommodation is a modification or adjustment to a job, the work environment or the manner or circumstances under which the position is customarily performed that enables a qualified applicant or employee with a disability to perform the essential functions of a job and to enjoy equal benefits and privileges of employment. Examples of a reasonable accommodation include but are not limited to:

· making existing facilities accessible

· job restructuring

· part-time or modified work schedules

· acquiring or modifying equipment

· changing tests, training materials, or policies

· providing qualified readers or interpreters

· reassignment to a vacant position

If you believe you need a reasonable accommodation, you must inform Human Resources. The Company will engage in an interactive process with you to determine the accommodation to be provided. The Company will not retaliate against an employee for requesting or obtaining an accommodation. Please contact Human Resources with any questions or concerns about reasonable accommodation for disabilities.
