Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bill is protected under human rights law on the grounds of physical disability. The company cannot discriminate against him based on his arthritis unless they can prove that his condition creates an undue hardship that cannot be accommodated. The advice of the doctor who performed the medical examination alone is not sufficient to justify discrimination.
