The “duty to accommodate” is a legal obligation, which has been confirmed and clarified by the courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada. The purpose of the duty to accommodate is to ensure that persons who are otherwise fit to work are not unfairly excluded where working conditions can be adjusted without undue hardship.
