Accessible workplaces

Ontario’s Accessible Employment Standard requires you to make your employment practices accessible to meet the needs of employees and job applicants with disabilities. Learn how to meet the standard.

Businesses and non-profits with:
1-49 employees must complete 4 requirements by January 1, 2017
50+ employees must have completed 6 requirements by January 1, 2016

Communicate accessibility policies

You must tell your employees about your policies to support people with disabilities. Tell new employees when they are hired, and tell all your employees if you change the policies.

To get this information out, you can use:

• newsletters
• emails
• memos
• websites
• bulletin boards
• staff meetings

·       one-on-one conversations

·        

·       What are some policies in your organization that complies with the AODA?
