Employment Handbook – Newfoundland and Labrador

After holding focus groups in Newfoundland and Labrador, 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 
  • "I'm looking for a volunteer position. Am I entitled to receive accommodations as a volunteer?”
  • "I got an interview! But I'm not sure when to disclose my sight loss to my prospective employer. What should I do?”
  • "My employer has advised me that due to various reasons (e.g. incompatible software, etc.) they are unable to accommodate my sight loss. What can I do?”
• Links to helpful legal services and community supports

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