Accommodation process map

Build a private record of an accommodation request, the information actually needed, the alternatives considered and the next review.

This is an information and recordkeeping tool. Source checking and editorial preparation aren’t individual legal review. Your completed record stays private and isn’t added to Binder’s public research or University teaching material.

A sample of the guidance

Request and immediate arrangements

Record the request date, a case reference, the barrier described and any immediate safety or access concern. An employee need not use the word accommodation before a concern deserves attention. Do not record a diagnosis here. Distinguish an interim arrangement from the final response.

Where this tool applies

This is an information and recordkeeping tool, not a finding of compliance or individualized legal, medical, insurance or tax advice. It does not draft or amend your organization’s legal policies.

Choose the place of work or insured risk and the applicable regime. A national source is not automatically applicable to a provincially regulated employment relationship. Quebec civil law, collective agreements, statutory appointments and sector rules require their own review.

Sources are reference points with stated scope, not an exhaustive national legal search. Record the actual contractual wording, the source version and any professional advice you rely on. A review date you enter is a management date, not a legal limitation period.

Use a case reference instead of unnecessary personal details. Do not enter a diagnosis, personal account number or unrelated third-party information. Customer work stays private and is not copied into the public research corpus, University or an AI training dataset.

The full tool includes 10 developed fields, a complete fictional example, source references, private saving, revision history and editable exports.
