Can an employer refuse working from home request with a doctors note?

If you have a medical note supporting your request to work remotely, your employer has a duty to accommodate this request under the Human Rights Code. A failure to accommodate this request is a breach of the Code, and is potential grounds for a constructive dismissal claim. If your employer refuses to accommodate you despite a medical note, you should contact our firm at the number below so that we can better assess your entitlements .
