Cette conférence sera présentée en anglais aux bureaux de Heenan Blaikie à Toronto, le 29 septembre de 8 h à 10 h.

One of the most daunting issues facing employers today continues to be managing disability in the workplace. This issue involves the complex interplay of several areas of the law including human rights, privacy, employment standards and workers' compensation legislation, as well as the law of contracts and collective agreements.

This seminar will briefly review the applicable principles and then will tackle some of the most frequently encountered and difficult issues facing employers such as:

• To what extent must an employee's disability be accommodated?
• How does an employer deal with the problem of vague medical notes or uncooperative employees?
• What does an employer do when a mental disability is involved?
• What are the different approaches an employer may take to intermittent as opposed to lengthy absences?
• When can an employer terminate a disabled employee?
• Can an employer rely on assessments of an employee's disability made by the WSIB or a disability insurance carrier?

Ce séminaire interactif comportera des études de cas.
