If you are asserting that you are a victim of discrimination, you bear the onus of proving discrimination. In reality, this is not a simple task. Discrimination can be difficult to detect and to prove in court. Very rarely does a manager openly express their biases. More often than not, discrimination is subtle and closeted. JPAK Employment Lawyers know what it takes to successfully advance a human rights claim, negotiate a fair outcome and if necessary, to commence legal proceedings.
Know your rights and devise a strategy that works for you.
How is Pay Impacted?
If the accommodation entails a reduced work schedule, the employer is generally entitled to pro-rate your wages accordingly. If you require a leave of absence for health reasons, be sure to review the Company’s short term disability or long term disability benefits, if applicable.
