Employers who know about workplace harassment and do not take steps to stop it can be held responsible for the harassment.
A worker must still be working at the place where the discrimination occurred to make a human rights complaint.
Complaints can be made up to 2 years after the incident.
The Human Rights Commission decides if a report of discrimination can result in a complaint.
The first step after there is a complaint is to try and resolve the matter by agreement.
If a complaint cannot be resolved, it must be referred to court for a hearing.
If a human rights complaint goes to court the person who allegedly discriminated needs to pay for their own lawyer if they want a lawyer to defend them.
The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code defines sexual harassment.
In most cases before there is a court hearing the person who allegedly discriminated is asked to make a final offer to resolve the matter out of court.
A court hearing a discrimination case cannot order monetary compensation.
PLEA offers free online training on preventing and addressing workplace harassment.
