Description:

The Canadian Human Rights Act is the central federal legislation that protects the right of individuals to freely participate without unlawful discrimination in all key aspects of society, including employment.

The Canadian Human Rights Act: Quick Reference is intended to provide federal employers, employees and bargaining agents with a complete yet concise overview of the Canadian Human Rights Act and its potential impact on those operating in federally regulated industries. It contains the full text of the Canadian Human Rights Act and Regulations and the Employment Equity Act.

Any employer or service-provider whose enterprise falls within this federal sphere is well advised to familiarize itself with the provisions of the Act. This Quick Reference will also be of interest to human resources professionals across Canada.

Review of recent case law on the duty to accommodate at the pre-employment stage.
