- True
- False
Correct Answer

Explanation

Under the IASR (Integrated Accessibility Standards Regulation), organizations are actually required to develop both an accessibility policy and a multi-year accessibility plan.

Therefore, the statement that organizations are not required to create both an accessibility policy and a multi-year accessibility plan is false.

Barriers to accessibility can be physical, through information and communications, systemic and/or attitudinal.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

Explanation

This statement is true because barriers to accessibility can indeed be physical, through information and communications, systemic, and/or attitudinal. Physical barriers can include things like stairs without ramps or elevators, while information and communications barriers can include inaccessible websites or documents. Systemic barriers can be seen in policies or practices that exclude certain individuals or groups, and attitudinal barriers involve prejudiced beliefs or discriminatory attitudes that limit access for certain individuals. Therefore, all of these types of barriers can hinder accessibility.

Under the Employment Standard, organizations only have to accommodate current employees with disabilities. They do not need to provide accommodation during the hiring process.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Organizations are required to provide accommodation during the hiring process under the Employment Standard. This means that they must make necessary adjustments or modifications to ensure that individuals with disabilities have equal opportunities to compete for job positions. Failure to provide accommodations during the hiring process can be considered discriminatory and a violation of the Employment Standard. Therefore, the given answer, False, is correct.

Rate this question:
8.

Organizations can create one standard individualized emergency response plan to be used for every employee with a disability, regardless of the nature of their disability.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

Organizations cannot create one standard individualized emergency response plan for every employee with a disability, regardless of the nature of their disability. Each individual's disability may require specific accommodations and considerations in an emergency situation. Therefore, it is important for organizations to create personalized emergency response plans that address the unique needs of each employee with a disability.

Rate this question:
9.

The Ontario Human Rights Code has primacy over the AODA, which means it is the highest legislation governing accessibility in Ontario. The AODA works together with the Code, but does not replace it.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

The explanation for the given answer is that the Ontario Human Rights Code is the highest legislation governing accessibility in Ontario, which means it takes priority over the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The AODA works in conjunction with the Code, but it does not replace it. Therefore, it is true that the Ontario Human Rights Code has primacy over the AODA.

Rate this question:
10.

Employers must accommodate employees with disabilities up to the point of undue hardship. It is up to the employer to prove that undue hardship exists.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Under the law, employers are required to make reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities, as long as it does not cause undue hardship for the employer. This means that employers must make efforts to accommodate disabled employees, such as providing assistive technology or modifying work schedules, unless it would cause significant difficulty or expense for the employer. The burden of proving undue hardship lies with the employer, meaning they need to provide evidence that accommodating the employee would be excessively difficult or costly. Therefore, the statement is true.
