2022-10-06

170.1. Irrespective of the expiry of the period prescribed to exercise the right to return to work, the Commission may require that the employer, a health and safety representative within the meaning of the Act respecting occupational health and safety (chapter S-2.1), a representative of the worker’s union or a representative of another union representing employees of the employer, as the case may be, to provide it with the information and documents necessary for determining the worker’s capacity to hold his employment or an equivalent employment or for determining a suitable employment available with the employer.

The employer shall allow the Commission to have access to the worker’s work station or to another work station so it can render a decision on the worker’s capacity to carry on his employment, an equivalent employment or a suitable employment and on its availability.

The information and documents referred to in the first paragraph concern, in particular, a detailed description of the employments with the employer, the physical demands of those employments and their potential availability, the work adaptation and reorganization possibilities and, as the case may be, the provisions of the collective agreement.
