The applicant, who has a learning disability, applied for a part-time caretaker position with the respondent school board.
He was invited to a screening test and requested accommodation, specifically more time, a separate room, and the use of a calculator.
The respondent's representative told him that accommodation could not be provided at the testing session and suggested he write the test to see how he did.
The applicant subsequently withdrew his application.
The Tribunal found that the respondent breached the procedural component of the duty to accommodate by failing to properly investigate and consider the accommodation request.
However, because the applicant withdrew from the process after offering to provide medical documentation, he was not entitled to compensation for lost opportunity.
The Tribunal awarded $7,500 for injury to dignity, feelings, and self-respect, and ordered future compliance remedies.
