GOALS
Under the Workplace Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulations an incident of workplace harassment or violence is called an occurrence and is reported using a Notice of Occurrence.
There are a number of steps the employer, or person designated to receive a Notice of Occurrence, must take after a notice has been filed.
If an occurrence of harassment or violence is not resolved by negotiation or conciliation the person who was harassed or experienced violence can require that the matter be investigated.
Employers are required to comply with the Canada Labour Code and its regulations. If they do not employees can make a complaint.
PLEA offers free online training on preventing and addressing workplace harassment.
