This guide aims to explain the concept of reasonable adjustments (“reasonable accommodation”) and provide practical step-by-step guidance on how and when these should be provided in the workplace.
This guide specifically supports employers in how to provide reasonable accommodation to workers with disabilities, those living with or affected by HIV or AIDS, pregnant workers and workers with family, as well as those who hold a particular religion or belief.
The guide takes managers and human resources professionals through the accommodation process sequentially, starting with an explanation of reasonable accommodation, followed by examples of the application of reasonable accommodation in practice. A model policy on reasonable accommodation is included as an appendix that can be tailored for use by companies of varying size, complexity and resources.
