Accommodating people with disabilities under the Human Rights Code is crucial because it upholds legal rights, prevents discrimination, and ensures fairness by enabling equal access and opportunity for all individuals. The duty to accommodate people with disabilities means accommodation must be provided in a way that most respects the dignity of the person if doing so does not cause undue hardship. Undue hardship means significant difficulty or expense. Employers aren't obligated to provide accommodations that cause undue hardship, which is assessed based on cost, nature, and the employer's size and resources. Larger employers should make more substantial accommodations, while smaller ones may need to find alternatives or have the employee cover costs.
