Normal conflict and differences of opinion, consensual office relationships and evaluating and supervising workers are not harassment.
Normal workplace conflict and differences of opinion are not workplace harassment. Laws against sexual harassment do not rule out office romance, flirtation, or good-natured jesting that is accepted by both parties. However, if you are even wondering about whether it is ok to do or say something it is better to err on the side of caution and not do it or say it.
Actions taken by employers or supervisors in the normal course of evaluating and supervising workers are not workplace harassment. These include:
These actions must be done in a professional and respectful manner. Yelling, swearing and name-calling while performing these actions can be considered harassment.
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!
