ACCOMMODATING EMPLOYEES Sample Clauses

The "Accommodating Employees" clause outlines an employer's obligation to make reasonable adjustments in the workplace to support employees with specific needs, such as disabilities, religious practices, or medical conditions. In practice, this may involve modifying work schedules, providing assistive devices, or altering job duties to ensure affected employees can perform their roles effectively. The core function of this clause is to promote inclusivity and compliance with legal requirements, thereby reducing the risk of discrimination claims and fostering a supportive work environment.
ACCOMMODATING EMPLOYEES. 16.1 The Company and Union are committed to assisting employees who are ill or injured, either temporarily or permanently, as a consequence of an occupational or non-occupational disability. 16.2 In accordance with the Company’s policy, a medical professional will assess the employee's fitness to perform their regular job duties or other job duties. 16.3 Every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate employees who are unable to return to their regular duties as a result of an injury or illness, provided that such accommodation does not create undue hardship as outlined in the Canadian Human Rights Act. Examples of such accommodations may include, but are not limited to: a) modified or alternate duties or hours of work in the employee’s regular assignment; b) displacement of a junior employee working in the employee’s classification or another classification for which the employee is qualified; c) displacement of a senior employee working in a classification for which the employee is qualified provided that the senior employee can be alternately assigned. 16.4 The Company will consult with the Union when an employee may require an accommodation outside of their regular assignment. In considering options for accommodation, seniority of employees will be considered and efforts will be made to minimize impact to other employees. 16.5 Employees placed in positions as part of an accommodation shall not be displaced from the position so long as they remain accommodated, except when senior employees are otherwise unable to hold positions in the seniority group. Once the accommodation is no longer required, the employee will revert to their regular assignment or exercise their seniority rights.

To this end, work will be assigned to employees with work restrictions based on the ability of the employee to perform it, and without regard to the business that normally performs the work.
