Workplace Violence And Harassment In Ontario
Employees in Ontario have a right not to be subjected to workplace violence and harassment, as provided for under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (the “OHSA”). Depending on the form and the basis of the alleged harassment, employees may also seek protection under the Ontario Human Rights Code (the “Code”), if the harassment is discriminatory and based on the employee’s gender, race, religion, sexuality, and other enumerated grounds protected by the Code.
