Employment Handbook – New Brunswick

After holding focus groups in New Brunswick, CNIB created this legal information handbook to provide helpful responses to some of the most common questions we heard.

In the handbook below, you’ll find: 

• An overview of your most important legal rights related to employment
• Answers to common questions like 
  • "There's a requirement in a job advertisement that I can't meet because of my disability. Should I still consider applying for the job?"
  • "My employer assumes that all employees with sight loss require the same accommodations. Is this true or am I entitled to customized accommodations that are specific to my needs?”
• Links to helpful legal services and community supports

The Know Your Rights legal Information handbooks are available in two different formats:
