Disability Accommodation. The Employer and the Union recognize that from time-to-time individual workers may have special needs that require special modification of work and/or physical accommodation within the workplace. The Employer and the Union will thereby endeavour to find co-operative solutions to workplace and/or contractual barriers to workers with special needs short of undue hardship, to provide suitable modified or alternate employment to employees who are temporarily or permanently unable to return to their regular duties as a consequence of an occupational or non- occupational disability, or as a consequence of limitations as a result of illness or injury or who otherwise require accommodation as set out in the Ontario Human Right Act. The Employer shall advise the Union promptly when it receives notice from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board from a return-to-work specialist or a request for accommodation from a worker due to disability.
