While many employees have the necessary tools to work remotely, you may find you require additional equipment. Speak to your supervisor and union rep about it and try to resolve situation keeping in mind that what is reasonable in the office may not be in a temporary mandatory telework arrangement during a pandemic. Also, the employer may be required to provide you with a different but reasonable accommodation so that you are able to continue to telework. As an example, Treasury Board has issued some guidelines for managers on how address requests for additional equipment. As a general framework, all requests are subject to departmental adaptation and approval. Who departments choose to equip will depend on the nature of the different types of work undertaken by employees, including their relative level of criticality, and the characteristics of their workforce, including employment status and location. However, departments need to consider, as a priority, equipping to satisfy duty-to-accommodate obligations; and occupational health and safety requirements.
