Further to our blog on October 9, 2014, this is just a reminder that the clock is ticking and organizations will be expected to be in compliance with many of the requirements under the Integrated Accessibility Standard ("IAS") by January 1, 2015.

The key dates employers should be aware of from a compliance perspective are outlined below:

  • By January 1, 2015, all employees and others providing services on behalf of a large organization (50 or more employees) must receive training on the Human Rights Code and the IAS as it pertains to persons with disabilities.
  • By January 1, 2015, large organizations must ensure that their feedback processes can be administered in accessible formats and with communication supports, upon request.
