GOALS
In every federally regulated workplace the employer and their partner must assess their workplace regarding harassment and violence. This is the first step in creating the workplace’s Harassment and Violence Prevention Policy.
There are certain elements that must be included in a Harassment and Violence Prevention Policy as well as some that, although they are not required, are recommended.
Employers need to take steps to implement their Harassment and Violence Prevention Policy so it is an effective tool in preventing and dealing with workplace harassment and violence.
The employer, employees and any person the employer designates to receive complaints about workplace violence or harassment must take training about harassment and violence in the workplace.
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!
