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 Regina Public Library and Saskatoon Public Library are hosting free Law Fair events during Saskatchewan Access to Justice Week to connect people with free legal information, assistance, and support. Attend to acquire legal knowledge and to broaden awareness of legal rights and responsibilities!
