Request an Accommodation

An accommodation is a modification to tasks to ensure a person can fully participate in the workplace, without discrimination. Human rights legislation specifies that employers have a “duty to accommodate” a worker’s needs in relation to a disability (either mental or physical). Each situation is unique, and all accommodations will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Examples of accommodations include:

Working reduced hours, or to allow for more frequent breaks.
Changes to the workspace that consider the needs of the individual with regards to ease of access, noise, light and other factors that may impact mental health, concentration, and well-being.
Help with prioritizing work and activities. This may involve breaking work into small, achievable tasks, or removing any non-essential tasks.

Please follow the steps below to request an accommodation:

Submit a mySolutions Portal Absence Request and indicate that you would like to request an accommodation.
Include any details of the specific reason for the accommodation request and the type of accommodation you require.
The request will then be routed to the benefits team for review.
The benefits team will respond to your case and/or reach out to you directly should any further information be required.
