Course Outline
Introduction
Knowledge of an employee’s disability is a key component of disability discrimination law and can give rise to some tricky issues in practice.
An employer’s liability for disability discrimination will, in some cases, turn on whether they have knowledge of the disability in the first place.
Three different types of knowledge are relevant: actual knowledge, imputed knowledge and constructive knowledge.
This webinar will ensure that employers and employees are alert to when each type of knowledge will arise and how that knowledge can affect the type of claims that can be brought and the value of those claims.
