Accommodation and Return to Work Planning and Follow-Up

The University of Guelph is committed to the implementation of early intervention for those employees with disabilities upon entering the University's workforce and employees who experience occupational and non-occupational illness or disability while in the workforce.

There are four accommodation partnership programs developed to promote a collaborative approach in assisting employees to enter the workforce, remain at work, or return to work in an early and safe manner:

  • Accommodation Partnership Program (APP) (general) [1]
  • APP - UGFA [2]
  • APP - UGFA Unit 2 [3]
  • APP - CUPE 3913 [4] 

For additional information regarding pursuing an accommodation, please see the following categories:

  • Physical or Cognitive Accommodations: Please have the Functional Capacity Form [5] completed by your medical treatment provider, outlining your specific functional abilities and limitations and the length of the required accommodation.
  • Pregnant Worker Accommodations: Please see the Pregnancy Protocol [6] for additional information.
  • Support Animals: Please review the Animals on Campus Protocol [7], and the Animals on Campus Procedures [8] and have the Employee Request for Accommodation with Support Animal  [9]completed by your medical treatment provider.

If you require accommodations at work please have the appropriate form(s) [10] completed, and forward to Occupational Health and Wellness (OHW) by fax 519-780-1796 or upload to the OHW Secure Drive [11]. You may also contact the Rehabilitation Specialist to discuss opportunities at 519-824-4120 ext. 54283.
