Through practical examples, participants will understand the principles of accommodation and undue hardship as well as various issues in terms of the rights and responsibilities of employers and service providers.

  • Understand the characteristics of discrimination protected by the human rights laws.
  • Become aware of the various issues associated with protected grounds.
  • Understand the rights and obligations of employers and staff on the different grounds.
