The federal labour board allowed a disability discrimination grievance after finding that years of extensive accommodation in an employee's existing job didn't excuse the Canada Revenue Agency's inadequate search for suitable alternative work. It ordered compensation in lieu of reinstatement, with the amount to be determined, and $5,000 for pain and suffering, but declined additional damages for wilful or reckless conduct.
