EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS

Medieval Times is committed to ensuring that its employment practices are in compliance with applicable accessibility and human rights legislation, including the AODA, IAS Regulation and the Ontario Human Rights Code.

Recruitment

Accommodation for applicants (including existing team members) with disabilities are available in Medieval Times’s recruitment processes.

Medieval Times shall notify applicants when they are individually selected to participate in an assessment or selection process that accommodation, including Accessible Formats and Communication Supports, is available upon request in relation to the materials or processes to be used. If a selected applicant requests accommodation, Medieval Times will consult with the applicant and provide or arrange for the provision of a suitable accommodation in a manner that takes into account the applicant’s accessibility needs due to a disability.

Medieval Times shall notify successful applicants of Medieval Times’s policies for accommodating team members with disabilities when making offers of employment or as part of the onboarding process.

Performance Management, Career Development and Advancement, Redeployment

Medieval Times shall take into account the accessibility needs and/or individual accommodation plans of team members when using performance management processes, providing career development and advancement, and using redeployment.

Workplace Emergency Response Information

Medieval Times provides individualized workplace emergency response information to team members who have a disability if the disability is such that the individualized information is necessary and the employer is aware of the need for accommodation. Medieval Times provides this information as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the need for accommodation.

If an team member who receives individualized workplace emergency response information requires assistance and provided that the team member’s consent is obtained, Medieval Times will provide the workplace emergency response information to the person designated by the employer to provide assistance to the team member.

Medieval Times reviews the individualized workplace emergency response information in the following circumstances: when the team member moves to a different location in the organization, when overall accommodation needs or plans are reviewed, and when it reviews its general emergency response policies.

Documented Individual Accommodation Plans

Medieval Times’s process for the development of documented individual accommodation plans includes:

• How we include the employee in the development of the plan;
• How we consider the employee on an individual basis;
• How we would proceed in getting a medical or other expert’s opinion on the accommodation of the employee and at our own expense;
• How other representatives or agents may or may not be involved;
• How the employee’s personal information will be protected;
• How often the plan will be reviewed and how it will be done; and
• How the plan will be provided in a format that respects the individual’s needs due to a disability.

Return to Work Process

Medieval Times’s process for the development of a return to work process for employees with disabilities who have been absent due to their disability and require accommodations to return to work will:

• Outline the steps we will take to facilitate the employee’s return to work; and
• Use their individual accommodation plan — where it exists — as part of the process.

Training

Medieval Times will provide training to employees and other staff members on the AODA and on the Human Rights Code as it relates to people with disabilities. Training will be provided in a way that best suits the duties of employees and all team members.

For Medieval Times’ team members in Ontario, training is to be completed initially within the first two (2) weeks of employment and then again annually, for the duration of employment with Medieval Times. This learning is completed via the Associate Learning Zone and includes learning and testing. Annual ‘renewal’ for learning will be communicated via Associate Learning Zone and the employee’s manager. Revised training will be provided in the event of changes to legislation, procedures and/or practices.

Training will cover:

• Accessibility requirements from the IAS Regulation and the Accessible Customer Service Standard;
• How the Human Rights Code pertains to persons with disabilities;
• Changes that are made to the accessibility policies, if and when they happen.

 

 

ACCESSIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICY

Medieval Times strives at all times to provide its goods and services in a way that respects the dignity and independence of people with disabilities. We are also committed to giving people with disabilities the same opportunity to access our goods and services and allowing them to benefit from the same services, in the same place and in a similar way as other customers. For example, we ensure that guests with disabilities can do things in their own way, when attending a show as long as this does not present a safety risk, and using alternative methods when possible to ensure that guests with disabilities have access to show, meal, and services (gift shops, bar, photos, etc.).

Revisions to this policy will only be made after considering the impact on people with disabilities.

Communication

We will communicate with persons with disabilities in ways that takes into account their disability. Medieval Times will work with the person with a disability to determine what method of communication works for them. We will train staff to communicate with customers in clear and plain language and to speak clearly and slowly.

Documents

Medieval Times will notify the public that documents related to accessible customer service are available upon request.

Medieval Times will provide this document in an accessible format or with communication support, on request. We will consult with the person making the request to determine the suitability of the format or communication support. We will provide the accessible format in a timely manner and, at no additional cost.

Invoices, company documents or other transaction records will be provided in the following formats upon request:  hard copy, large print, e-mail, etc.

Any policies of Medieval Times that do not respect and promote the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity for people with disabilities will be modified or removed.

Service Animals

Service animals accompanying a customer with a disability shall be permitted entry to all Medieval Times facilities that are open to the public and allowable by governing regulations.  A customer that is accompanied by a guide dog, service dog and/or service animal is responsible for maintaining care and control of the animal at all times.

If it is not readily apparent the animal is a service animal, Medieval Times may ask the customer with a disability to provide a letter from a physician or nurse confirming that the person requires the animal for reasons relating to the customer’s disability.  It is the responsibility of the customer using the service animal to ensure the service animal is kept in control at all times.

Medieval Times’s employees will receive training on how to interact with customers with disabilities who are accompanied by a service animal.

In the case where Medieval Times is unable to permit a service animal access to a facility, other accommodations may be provided to the customer such as: alternate meeting format, e.g. teleconference with technology permits; delivery of goods or services at an alternate time or location; other assistive measures available to deliver a good or service to ensure equality of outcome.

The Health Protection and Promotion Act normally does not allow animals in places where food is manufactured, prepared, processed, handled, served, displayed, stored, sold or offered for sale. It does allow guide dogs and service dogs to go into places where food is served, sold or offered for sale. However, other types of service animals are not included in this exception.

If there is a conflict between a provision of the Dog Owners’ Liability Act or a regulation under this or any other Act relating to banned breeds and a provision of a by-law passed by a municipality relating to these breeds, the provision that is more restrictive in relation to controls or bans on these breeds prevails.

Assistive Devices

Customers with disabilities are permitted, where possible, to use their own assistive devices when on Medieval Times premises for purposes of obtaining, using or benefiting from goods or services.  Exceptions may occur in situations where Medieval Times has determined that the assistive device may pose a risk to the health and safety of another person with a disability or the health and safety of others on our premises.

If there is a physical, technological or other type of barrier that prevents the use of an assistive device on our premises, we will first endeavor to remove that barrier.  If we are not able to remove the barrier, we will ask the customer how he/she can be accommodated and what alternative methods of service would be more accessible to him/her.  We will make best efforts to provide an alternative means of accessibility to the customer.

It should be noted that it is the responsibility of the person with a disability to ensure that their assistive device is operated in a safe and controlled manner at all times.

Medieval Times will ensure that the staff receives training on various assistive devices that may be used by customers with a disability while accessing our goods and services.

Support Persons

Medieval Times is committed to welcoming customers with disabilities who are accompanied by a support person.  Any customer with a disability who is accompanied by a support person will be allowed to enter Medieval Times’s premises with his or her support person.  At no time will a customer with a disability who is accompanied by a support person be prevented from having access to his or her support person while on the Medieval Times premises.

Support persons will not be required to pay any admission fees to enter our locations when they are attending exclusively to provide support to a guest with a disability.

Where appropriate, support person may be required to acknowledge that it is the customer, and not the support person, to whom Medieval Times is providing its goods and/or services.

If a support person is necessary for the health and safety of a person with disabilities, or for the health and safety of other persons, Medieval Times will require the accompaniment of a support person on Medieval Times premises.

Where a Medieval Times employee believes that a support person should be in attendance to protect the health and safety of the customer with disabilities or others, the following criteria shall be used in consulting with the customer:

• Whether there is significant risk to the health and safety of the customer with disability or to others (the mere possibility of risk is insufficient);
• Whether the risk cannot be eliminated or reduced by other means;
• Whether the assessment of the risk is based on consideration of the duration of the risk, the nature and severity of the potential harm, the likelihood that the potential harm will occur, and the imminence of the potential harm; and
• Whether the assessment of the risk is based on the customer’s actual characteristics, not merely on generalizations, misperceptions, ignorance or fears about a disability.

A customer with a disability is required to provide their own support person.  A customer who requires the assistance of a support person is also expected to inform Medieval Times that he or she will be attending with a support person.

Notice of Temporary Disruption

In the event of a planned or unexpected disruption to services for customers with disabilities, Medieval Times security will notify customers promptly.  This clearly posted notice will include information about the reason for disruption, its anticipated length of time and a description of alternative facilities or services, if available.  This notice will be posted at all public entrances.

In the event that a temporary service disruption occurs that would limit a customer with a disability from gaining access to Medieval Times facilities, goods or services, Medieval Times will make the disruption known to customers by:

• Posting notices in conspicuous places including at the point of disruption, at the main entrance and the nearest accessible entrance to the service disruption;
• Contacting guests with reservations, whenever possible;
• Verbally notifying guests when purchasing tickets and/or making reservations, whenever possible;
• Posting information through various social media outlets: Medieval Times’ website, as well as Medieval Times’ Twitter and Facebook accounts;
• If the Toronto Castle is going to be closed for longer durations, the phones within our facility will be forwarded to the call centre to ensure our guests can speak to someone directly; and
• Any other methods that we may determine are reasonable in the circumstances.

Notices will include information about the nature of the disruption, the reason for the disruption, its anticipated duration, alternate service  locations if applicable, and a description of alternate facilities or services if available from the affected service department.

Training

Medieval Times will provide training to the following persons: i) all employees and volunteers; ii) all persons who participate in developing the organization’s policies; and iii) all other persons who provide goods, services or facilities on behalf of the organization, which includes outsourced services, such as payroll and benefits.

Training will be appropriate to the duties of the employees, volunteers and other persons.  Broadly speaking, training will address the requirements of the accessibility standards referred to in the AODA and in the Human Rights Code, as it pertains to persons with disabilities.  The training will include:

• A review of the purpose of the AODA and the requirements of the customer service standard;
• Instructions on the use of available technology and assistive devices, and on interaction with service animals and support persons;
• Instruction on how to use equipment and devices made available on our premises to assist customers with disabilities to obtain, use or benefit from our goods and services;

• Instructions on what to do if a person with a disability is having difficulty accessing our show or services; and

• Instruction on the content and requirements of Medieval Times’s policies, practices and procedures relating to the Customer Service Standard.

Updated training will be provided as policies, practices and procedures change.  Training will also be provided when new employees join Medieval Times.  In all circumstances, training will be provided as soon as practicable.

Records of training provided to staff, including training protocol, the dates on which the training is provided and the number of individuals to whom the training is provided shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of the AODA.
