Based on the information provided, it appears that there may be a strong case for discrimination under the Ontario Human Rights Code, specifically Section *, which prohibits employment discrimination based on disability. Here are some points to consider:
- Section *: Prohibits discrimination in employment based on disability.
- Evaluations: Should not focus solely on disability-related challenges without considering accommodations.
- Failure to Provide Accommodations: If the employer did not inquire or provide necessary accommodations despite being aware of the disability, this could strengthen the case.
Can you provide any additional information on the specific accommodations that were needed or any further details on the employer's response to your accommodation requests?
(See Section IV-* – “Meeting the accommodations.) [*] In a case involving the accommodation of a mental health disability in the workplace, the court said: “a failure to give any thought or consideration to the issue of accommodation, including what, if any, steps could be taken constitutes a failure to satisfy the ‘procedural’ duty to accommodate.” [*]
In Ontario, if you believe you have been discriminated against based on a disability and your employer failed to consider accommodations, you may have a strong case under Section * of the Ontario Human Rights Code.
- Section *: Prohibits employment discrimination based on disability.
- Employer's Duty: Employers must consider and accommodate disabilities.
- Procedural Duty: Failure to consider accommodations violates the procedural duty to accommodate.
Can you share more about any other instances where accommodations were requested or denied?
REWRITE : The recorded evaluation proves the specific named respondents recognized challenging behaviors that showed mental health or disability accommodations were necessary in the workplace and they had legal obligations to inquire. However, the specific named respondents did not fulfill their duties to inquire about mental health and disability is linked to the performance issues. Before their submission to the organization (Covenant House Toronto) to terminate employment based on performance issues or “unacceptable behaviors. Based on the gaps in documentation and non-existent records of accommodation dialogue with Ms. Merritt, negligence can be proven. The specific named respondents took no active role to engage in the alternative approaches of possible ADHD.
The recorded evaluation shows that the specific respondents identified behaviors indicating a need for mental health or disability accommodations in the workplace. Despite their legal obligation, they failed to inquire about how these issues were linked to performance concerns. They did not engage in alternative approaches for possible ADHD before recommending employment termination at Covenant House Toronto. The lack of documentation and accommodation dialogue with Ms. Merritt points to potential negligence.
Can you provide more details on any other instances where accommodations were requested or denied?
• *.*.* Duty to inquire about accommodation needs, Accommodation providers must attempt to help a person who is clearly unwell or perceived to have a mental health disability or addiction by inquiring further to see if the person has needs related to a disability and offering assistance and accommodation. [*]
The recorded evaluation shows that the respondents identified behaviors indicating a need for mental health or disability accommodations but failed to inquire about or provide necessary accommodations. This negligence, especially before recommending termination at Covenant House Toronto, could be considered discriminatory under Section * of the Ontario Human Rights Code.
Could you provide more details on any other instances where accommodations were requested or denied?
Section * of the Code prohibits discrimination that results from requirements, qualifications or factors that may appear neutral but that have an adverse effect on people identified by Code grounds. Section * allows an organization to show that a requirement, qualification or factor that results in discrimination is nevertheless reasonable and bona fide (legitimate). In the case of Ms. Merritt- the specific respondents were able to use the organization’s current evaluation process during the probationary period to terminate employment based on poor performance. However, there is a notable absence of internal policy guiding managers and mid-level employees on their responsibilities to inquire about performance issues linked to mental health and disability before making termination decisions. This lack of policy creates potential grounds for discrimination, particularly affecting employees with disabilities.
In Ontario, any termination that appears to be based on disability, without considering accommodations, can potentially be discriminatory under Section * of the Ontario Human Rights Code.
- Section *: Prohibits employment discrimination based on disability.
- Duty to Inquire: Employers must consider accommodations for disabilities.
- Negligence: Failure to inquire about or provide accommodations despite recognizing the need can be seen as negligence.

rewrite Section * of the Code prohibits discrimination from neutral requirements that adversely affect those identified by Code grounds. It allows organizations to justify such requirements if they are reasonable and bona fide. In Ms. Merritt's case, the organization covenant house Toronto has a policy during the probationary period that their mid-employees can conduct an evaluation at any point to determine meeting performance standards and terminate employees based on not meeting performance standards.

can explain more how termination with cause violates section *
Sure! Section * of the Ontario Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination arising from neutral requirements that adversely affect individuals identified by Code grounds, such as disabilities.

can you explain how employers can use netural requirements as discrimentation
Sure! Here’s how neutral requirements can be used as discrimination under Section * of the Ontario Human Rights Code:
- Neutral Requirements: Policies or practices that apply equally to everyone but have a disproportionate adverse effect on individuals identified by Code grounds.
- Adverse Effect: These requirements unintentionally discriminate against people with disabilities, such as ADHD, by not accommodating their specific needs.
- Example: A performance evaluation process that does not consider or accommodate the challenges posed by an employee's disability, leading to unfair termination decisions.
- Violation: If the employer fails to accommodate disabilities during evaluations, it could result in discrimination, violating Section *.

REWRITE • The specific named respondents Manager Candice Cosburn and Intern-supervisor Kendra Sandy mention- Jodyann has declined to collaborate with her colleagues, which is not conductive to this environment. This statement can be deemed discriminatory because it unfairly targets behaviors that are a direct result of ADHD condition. In the case of Ms. Merritt, this recorded behavior is directly linked to ADHD. Individuals with ADHD may act impulsively, which can lead to inappropriate comments or actions in social situations. This impulsiveness can make it difficult for them to gauge social cues and respond appropriately, potentially causing misunderstandings or conflict.

write a request for an internm remedy stay of employment
---
Dear Tribunal,
I am writing to request an interim remedy for a stay of employment for Ms. Merritt, who was terminated by Covenant House Toronto on August *, *. Ms. Merritt was diagnosed with ADHD, a condition disclosed to her employer and supervisors. Despite this, the performance evaluation leading to her termination did not accommodate her disability, nor did the organization engage in the accommodation process or fulfill their duty to inquire about her needs.
Relevant sections of the Ontario Human Rights Code include:
- Section *: Prohibits employment discrimination based on disability.
- Section *: Prohibits neutral requirements that disproportionately affect individuals with disabilities.
- Section *: Requires employers to accommodate disabilities unless it causes undue hardship.
Covenant House Toronto's failure to consider necessary accommodations and the lack of policy guiding inquiries into performance issues linked to mental health and disabilities likely resulted in discrimination against Ms. Merritt. Given these circumstances, I request the Tribunal grant an interim remedy for a stay of employment with retroactive wages until a final decision is made in this matter.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
