Government of B.C. Manager's Guide to Reasonable Accommodation

The Managers’ Guide to Reasonable Accommodation is intended for managers and supervisors of the BC Public Service. The guide is key to being an inclusive employer, to respond effectively to individual accommodation needs, fulfill responsibilities and meet Corporate Plan goals.

The BC Human Rights Code (the “Code”) protects and promotes human rights in British Columbia. The Code recognizes that all persons are equal in dignity, rights and responsibilities. Under the Code, discrimination refers to treatment of an individual, or a group of individuals,
who are singled out and treated adversely or differently than others based on one or more of the protected grounds.

In the employment context, the protected grounds are:
• race
• colour
• ancestry
• place of origin
• age
• political belief
• religion
• marital status
• family status
• sex
• sexual orientation
• physical or mental disability
• gender identity or expression
• criminal or summary conviction offences unrelated to the employment or the intended employment of that person

Protection is intended to ensure equitable access to employment opportunities and fair treatment in the workplace. Accommodation refers to modifying employment requirements, rules or policies that could be considered discriminatory because they have a negative effect on an individual or protected group. Satisfying this legal duty1 requires managers to be respectful, attentive, flexible and comprehensive. Employers must accommodate employees with a demonstrated need up to the point of undue hardship.
