ACCOMMODATING EMPLOYEES. The object of the accommodating employee is:
1. To provide an opportunity for rehabilitation of employees with medical restrictions.
2. To perform useful and necessary work to the extent that it is economically practical to do so.
3. To provide medically restricted employees an opportunity to do value added work to the extend of their capabilities.
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.
ACCOMMODATING EMPLOYEES. The object of the accommodating employee is:
1. To provide an opportunity for rehabilitation of employees with medical restrictions.
2. To perform useful and necessary work to the extent that it is economically practical to do so.
3. To provide medically restricted employees an opportunity to do value added work to the extend of their capabilities.
4. The Medical Committee is to look at reassignment of roles and to review work content as per the Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) versus role descriptions. The Medical Committee shall review job assignments of employees with work restrictions to allow the employee to maintain their rate of classification that they had when they entered into work restrictions. 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. FOR THE UNION: FOR THE COMPANY:
ACCOMMODATING EMPLOYEES. 32.1 The Company and Council mutually agree that employees who have become unable to perform their regular duties due to illness or injury shall be accommodated in accordance with the Canadian Human Rights Act.
ACCOMMODATING EMPLOYEES. As per the Ontario Human Rights Code, the Board, the Union, and the employee recognize their obligation to co-operate and participate in the process. The Board and the Union are committed to a consistent and equitable approach to meeting the needs of employees who require accommodation, by treating such employees with dignity and respect and restoring them to meaningful, available, or suitable work. As such, the Board and the Union shall establish a standard process to meet to develop individual accommodation/modified return-to-work plans. The parties agree to abide by their legal and legislative obligations and the Board’s Accommodation of staff policy/procedure.
