Rick Dubin, vice-president of Investigative Services at the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC), said the insurance industry is a strong supporter of the campaign. "While actual vehicle thefts have dropped, we are very concerned about identity theft and identity fraud," Dubin said. According to the IBC, cases of identity theft and fraud increased by six per cent in 2013 to 11,594. Dubin, quoted in a Halton police press release, said motorists should not keep personal documents such as vehicle ownership, liability pink slips, credit card invoices or any other documents with personal information in their vehicles. By obtaining these documents, identity thieves could potentially secure credit card accounts, lease vehicles for export, or take out a mortgage against the victim's name -- all without their knowledge, the release continued to note. 9 | Friday, November 28, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Dr. Schisler & team welcomes you to our new location.

Wade regularly blogs about human rights issues at www.ontariohumanrights.net Specializing in: · Discrimination in employment, housing and education · Wrongful dismissal When an employee requests accommodation in the workplace, which may include changes to workplace, reduced working hours, or a medical leave of absence, employers are entitled to ask for some information and employees have an obligation to provide it. Questions should be limited to information that is required to determine the limitations or needs of the employee so that the employer can look to see what can be changed in the workplace to allow the employee to continue working productively. Questions unrelated to needs or workplace limitations are generally inappropriate. In most cases, employers are not permitted to request an employee's "medical file", ask for "general" medical information, or ask what the disability is. Questions that will reveal the employee's diagnosis should be avoided. Ideally, the employer will tell the employee what information is needed and, more importantly, why that information is needed. Employers should be sensitive when asking for information and ensure that the employee's dignity and privacy is maintained to the extent possible. Employers should generally avoid asking for a second medical opinion, independent medical examination or opinion from a specialist unless that information is absolutely necessary to provide accommodation. Employers who fail to properly work with an employee in the accommodation process may find themselves in violation of Ontario's human rights legislation and responsible for significant damages. 2045 Sixth Line Oakville, ON 905-338-3528 RSVP. mwilliamson@rotherglen.com CALL TODAY TO BOOK A PERSONAL TOUR Applications for 2015/2016 are now being accepted. 1 King Street West, 10th Floor Hamilton, L8P 1a4 905-526-9800 www.rossmcbride.com wpoziomka@rossmcbride.com Give your child a Rotherglen education. www.rotherglen.com The advice offered in this advertorial column is intended for informational purposes only.
