GOALS
This section explains how harassment is defined in The Saskatchewan Employment Act, The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code and, in unionized workplaces, collective agreements.
This section looks at the elements of workplace harassment as defined in The Saskatchewan Employment Act.
The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity.
The same actions could be considered workplace harassment or not depending on whether the person consented, so understanding consent is important.
Just as there are certain elements required to meet the definition of workplace harassment there are certain things that are irrelevant when determining if there has been workplace harassment.
Certain things that happen in a workplace are not harassment even though they may be upsetting.
The Saskatoon and Regina public libraries are hosting free Law Fairs to help people learn about their legal rights/responsibilities and connect with legal information and support. In Saskatoon, check out the free screening of The Good Canadian presented by Legal Aid Saskatchewan. There's lots to see and do during the 11th annual Saskatchewan Access to Justice (SKA2J) Week!
