Employers can demonstrate their commitment to a harassment-free workplace in a variety of ways including providing information and training about preventing harassment.
When developing a Harassment Prevention Policy employers must consult with their workplace’s Occupational Health and Safety Committee or Representative. If the workplace does not have one the employer must consult directly with the workers.
Employers are required by The Saskatchewan Employment Act to have a Harassment Prevention Policy which must contain certain provisions.
Employers do not just need to have a Harassment Prevention Policy - they must use it to prevent harassment and deal with harassment when it occurs.
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!
