Workplace Fairness for Employees with Disabilities in London

Workers in London, Ontario should not be punished for living with a disability. Whether physical, psychological, or temporary, disabilities should be met with empathy—not excuses.

Unfortunately, many employees are denied reasonable accommodations, passed over for jobs, or wrongfully dismissed when they request support. At London Employment Lawyers, we make sure the law works for you—not against you.

‍

Legal Protections Are on Your Side

Ontario’s Human Rights Code protects employees from discrimination based on disability. Employers are legally required to provide support measures to allow you to stay in or return to work.

If they fail to do so, you may have a claim for:

• Discrimination
• Constructive or wrongful dismissal
• Emotional distress
• Lost income and benefits

‍

Reasonable Accommodation: What That Means

Employers in London are expected to accommodate disabilities by:

• Allowing medical leaves
• Adjusting work duties or expectations
• Providing necessary equipment or modifications
• Permitting flexible or remote work
• Taking steps to prevent workplace harassment

You must also participate in the process—but your employer cannot simply say “it’s too hard” without evidence.
