We’ve heard from many employees and other workers who are affected by pre-existing disabilities and continue to work during the COVID-19 pandemic…
They are concerned that their disabilities might place them at higher risk of contracting COVID-19 and adversely affect their ability to perform their workplace duties and responsibilities. In this video, Lawyer Ron Franklin provides legal information to employees and other workers who are affected by disabilities. He talks about ways in which human rights legislation protects workers from discrimination on the basis of disability, talks about employers’ legal duty to accommodate workers’ disability-related needs to the point of undue hardship during the pandemic, and provides workers with practical tips to protect their legal interests, and health and well-being.
