Hi, i have an employer who is semi-mandating a return to work. i had started a process with them for an accommodation but now they want to use Canada Life at work services. they want access to my medical information and i’m wondering how much i can deny consent to this program.

If you are requesting accommodation on the basis of a medical condition, there is an obligation to participate in the accommodation process and that does involve sharing certain medical information. In your scenario, this will generally include your specific medical restrictions and medical prognosis. It would not include the medical diagnosis. If you have further questions, please contact our firm to schedule a consultation to discuss the matter in more detail.
