Human rights application deferred pending conclusion of concurrent WSIAT appeal regarding workplace accommodation.
The applicant filed an application alleging discrimination with respect to employment because of disability, claiming the respondent failed to accommodate his work-related injury.
The respondent requested that the application be deferred pending the conclusion of the applicant's appeal to the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT) regarding a WSIB decision that found no objective evidence supporting his need for a reduced workday.
The Tribunal granted the deferral, finding that proceeding concurrently could lead to contrary findings on the central issue of whether the applicant required disability-related accommodation.
