Human Rights Issues at the Workplace
As an employer, you have obligations to your employees under the Human Rights Code, which include going above and beyond providing a workplace free from discrimination and harassment to other forms of accommodations. Because of this, determining whether or not you and your company are adequately protected and you have sufficiently accommodated your employees can be difficult to assess on your own.
Whether you have an employee with a medical issue, a disability, or who requires some other form of accommodation, the employment lawyers at KSW Lawyers can help advise you on your obligations under the Human Rights Code, and provide insight and advice on liability, obligations, and risk based on your specific circumstances.
