PLEA gratefully acknowledges our primary core funder the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan for their continuing and generous support of our organization.
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.
Our newest project is designed to provide legal information for Indigenous communities through a dedicated website, indigenous.plea.org, and print material. All is available free of charge.
