Employees with disability have the following rights and responsibilities:

  • Disclose it if legally required to do so (see “When should you disclose?”)
    • If you’re not in a situation where you are legally required to disclose, you have the right not to.
  • Provide sufficient information in regards to your disability in order to support your request for accommodation 
  • You may be obligated to cooperate in undergoing assessments in order to support your request as your employer is entitled to receive accurate and relevant information in regards to your disability. 
  • For the employer rights and responsibilities, see “What are my rights & responsibilities as an employer to an employee with a disability?” in the employer FAQ.
