In some circumstances your employer may have a positive obligation to accommodate you. For example, your employer might have an obligation to accommodate you if you have a disability, impairment or injury, in order to assist you to do your job.

These obligations can extend to employers allowing flexible working arrangements to accommodate carer’s responsibilities. For example, if you are a parent or carer your employer might have an obligation to allow you to work from home on particular days. If your employer refuses, it could amount to workplace discrimination.
