S01E07 - Business Inconvenience Is Not Undue Hardship

Описание: Most people think "disability accommodation" just means installing a wheelchair ramp. But in Ontario employment law, the definition is much broader—and the obligations on employers are much stricter than most realize.

In this deep dive audio overview, we break down the Disability Discrimination Ultimate Guide by HTW Law. We explore the critical legal difference between "business inconvenience" (which legally doesn't matter) and "undue hardship" (the only valid excuse for refusing accommodation).

🔍 In this video, we cover:

The "Inconvenience" Myth: Why a manager saying "this slows the team down" is often admitting to discrimination.

Undue Hardship Defined: The three specific factors courts actually look at (Cost, Outside Funding, Health & Safety).

Addiction as a Disability: An analysis of Entrop v. Imperial Oil and why perceived addiction protects employees just as much as a diagnosed history.

Mental Health & Stress: The difference between standard management decisions (firing/demoting) and harassment that leads to WSIB chronic mental stress claims.

The Legal Tests: Understanding the Meiorin test and how the burden of proof shifts to the employer.

If you are an employee feeling targeted due to a medical condition, or an employer trying to navigate the Human Rights Code, this overview clarifies the high bar set for proving undue hardship.
