Do you need to file an AODA compliance report?

Choose your number of employees in Ontario. Count full-time, part-time, seasonal and contract staff; leave out volunteers, independent contractors and staff outside Ontario.

Ontario employees

Choose a range to see whether you file, what applies at your size, and the next step.

What applies at each size:

1–19 employees: No report to file

You don’t file a compliance report, but the AODA still applies: accessible customer service, feedback and formats on request, and accessible hiring. Our packages are built for 20–199 staff, so you probably don’t need us.

Read the free guide to see what applies

20–49 employees: File by December 31, 2026

Your certifier confirms you meet these, among others:

  • Accessibility policies and a statement of commitment (writing them down is advised)
  • Training on the standards and the Human Rights Code for staff and volunteers
  • Accessible feedback, accessible formats on request, and customer service rules
  • Accessible recruitment, employee notices and workplace emergency information

Not required at your size: a multi-year plan, written training records, or website (WCAG) rules.

50–199 employees: File by December 31, 2026

Everything at 20–49, plus:

  • Policies documented and publicly available
  • A multi-year accessibility plan posted on your website
  • Written training records (dates and number trained)
  • A public website that meets WCAG 2.0 Level AA
  • Documented individual accommodation and return-to-work processes

200 or more: File by December 31, 2026

You have the same report and the 50+ requirements. Our fixed-price packages are sized for 20–199 employees, so we’re not the right fit, but our free resources still apply.

What the deadline asks of you

Six yes/no questions, certified by a senior officer

Every three years, a senior officer who can legally bind your organization (your certifier) answers six questions in Ontario’s online portal and certifies that the answers are accurate. A “yes” means you can point to the documents behind it.

Requirement20–49 staff50–199 staff
File the compliance report by Dec 31, 2026YesYes
Accessibility policies and statement of commitmentYes (writing them down is advised)Yes, documented and public
AODA training (the standards and the Human Rights Code)YesYes
Written AODA training recordsNoYes
Accessibility plan covering several years (the “multi-year plan”), posted onlineNoYes
AODA compliant public website (WCAG 2.0 Level AA)NoYes
Individual accommodation and return-to-work processes documentedNoYes

Summary of Ontario’s accessibility rules for businesses and non-profits. The full breakdown, question by question, is in our 2026 compliance report guide.

The weak spot: proving it

The report is a self-assessment, but your certifier is confirming it’s accurate. The gap we see most is records: new hires get trained, nobody logs it, and three years later no one can show who was trained. Your package includes a training record you keep current, and a walkthrough that names the document behind each answer.

Installed an accessibility widget (accessiBe, UserWay, AudioEye)?

What it does: adds a toolbar visitors can use to change how your site looks. What it doesn’t cover: your policies, AODA training and records, feedback and accessible formats, hiring and accommodation processes, or customer service, which is most of the report. It also doesn’t fix the pages underneath by itself. Keep it if you like it; just don’t count it as your answer.

Our guarantee

Fit refund: if, after the intake call and before we send drafts, either of us finds the package isn’t a fit, you get a full refund. On-time promise: if your full package isn’t delivered within 10 business days of a completed intake, we refund 50% and still finish the work.

We don’t promise a regulatory outcome or call anyone “100% compliant”, and your organization decides how to answer each question. Read the service terms.

How the price compares

Your options for getting the report ready

All of these can work. The difference is how much of your team’s time it takes and when it’s finished.

    We send the full draft package. One round of revisions is included.

  4. By day 10

    Final package and walkthrough

    We take your certifier through the six questions. They file in Ontario’s portal.

Orders close December 5, 2026 so delivery fits before the deadline. Later orders are accepted only if we can confirm capacity in writing.

Scope

What we do, and what we don’t

Clear limits so you know exactly what you’re buying.

We do

  • Write the documents your certifier needs, specific to your organization
  • Explain Ontario’s published requirements in plain language
  • Check key website pages and rank what to fix (50–199 package)
  • Map who needs which AODA training and set up the record
  • Walk your certifier through each question before they file
  • Deliver everything in accessible Word and tagged PDF formats

We don’t

  • Give legal advice. We are not lawyers. For a legal opinion, use a lawyer.
  • File or certify for you. Your senior officer answers and submits. We never log in to your account.
  • Fix websites unless you accept a separate quote. Your web provider can also do it.
  • Deliver training. Staff complete it; free official options exist.
  • Assess buildings. We flag Design of Public Spaces if it applies.
  • Serve organizations with 200+ employees, public sector organizations or transportation providers.

Who prepares your documents

An independent Ontario service

AODA Report Desk is run by Wissem Zrelli in Toronto, Ontario. We prepare accessibility documentation from Ontario’s published requirements and official templates, tailored to how your organization actually works, and we explain every document to the person who has to certify it.

We’re new, so we don’t have client reviews to show yet. Instead, you can read a complete sample package, our free guide, and our terms before you decide.

What we’ll never do

  • Tell you you’re “100% compliant” or sell you a badge
  • Use fines you’re unlikely to face to scare you
  • Ask for your portal password or employee medical information
  • Pretend to be connected to the Government of Ontario
FAQ

AODA compliance report questions

Ontario publishes free templates. Why pay?

The free templates are good, and we link to them in our guide. If someone on your team has a few days to read the regulation, adapt each template, set up training records and check your website, use them. You pay us to have it done for your organization, finished on a known date, with someone walking your certifier through what each “yes” relies on.

What happens if we don’t file?

Ontario says organizations that don’t file could face enforcement measures, which can include financial penalties. In practice, the ministry works with organizations first: its 2024 annual report lists 1,238 attestation audits (aimed at organizations that missed a deadline, reported non-compliance or never filed), 99% of verification audits resolved as compliant, and 19 Director’s Orders, one with administrative penalties. So the realistic risk is an audit letter and catch-up work, not an automatic fine. It is still a legal obligation, and your certifier signs their name to the answers.

Is this legal advice?

No. We prepare documentation from Ontario’s published requirements and official templates, and explain what they ask for. We are not lawyers. If your situation needs a legal opinion, we’ll say so, and you should speak with an employment lawyer.

Is there still time before December 31?

Yes, if you start by December 5, 2026. We deliver the full package within 10 business days of a completed intake (questionnaire returned and intake call held), with drafts by day 7. Orders after December 5, 2026 are accepted only if we can confirm capacity in writing.

What do you need from us, and how do you handle our information?

A short questionnaire, a 45-minute intake call, and copies of any accessibility documents you already have. We never ask for your portal login, and we don’t need employee health or medical information: we write the processes and blank forms, and your team keeps individual records. We use your information only to deliver your package, keep client records for 7 years for tax purposes, and delete enquiries that don’t become clients within 12 months. Details are in our privacy notice.

We filed in 2023. Do we need to do anything?

Yes. Businesses and non-profits file every three years, so 2026 is a new report. Your documents may also need an update: multi-year plans must be reviewed at least every five years, new staff need training, and many websites have changed since 2023.

Do you file the report for us?

No. Your senior officer creates the portal account, answers the six questions, certifies and submits. We prepare the documents and walk them through each answer first, so they know what supports it. We never log in to your account.

Do you fix our website?

The Full report package includes a check of up to 10 key public pages against WCAG 2.0 Level AA and a fix list ranked by impact. We can quote the fixes separately, or your web provider can do them. For 20–49 employees, the website rules don’t apply, but the same check is available for C$200.

We installed an accessibility widget (accessiBe, UserWay, AudioEye). Are we covered?

Not for the report. A widget adds a toolbar to your site. It doesn’t write your policies, train your staff, keep training records or document your hiring and accommodation processes, which is what most of the six questions ask about. On the website side, a widget doesn’t fix the underlying pages by itself; our website check looks at the pages, not the toolbar. See what a widget does and doesn’t cover.

How do we pay?

By invoice, payable by Interac e-Transfer or bank transfer before work starts. Prices are fixed, in Canadian dollars, plus applicable tax. See the service terms.

We have 200 or more employees. Can you help?

Not with these packages. They are sized for 20–199 employees. Larger organizations have the same report but usually more documents, sites and systems; our free guide and checklist still apply.

Are you connected to the Government of Ontario?

No. We are an independent service. Filing is free, and Ontario’s Accessibility Compliance Reporting Portal is the only place to file.
