  TORONTO Parents struggling to balance their jobs and child-care needs during the pandemic may be entitled to workplace accommodations, such as flexible hours and time off, employment lawyers say. “Employers generally do have an obligation to accommodate employees’ child care obligations in the workplace up to the point of undue hardship,” says Simone Ostrowski, an employment lawyer at Whitten & Lublin in Toronto. Federal and provincial legislation gives employees across the country the ability to seek accommodations and modifications based on their family status. Accommodations typically include things like flexible work hours, alternating workdays and the ability to work from home, all of which can help parents whose children are doing online learning from home.
