What is not Workplace Harassment or Violence

Create an account or log in to save your progress and recieve a certificate of completion.

Supervision of employees, normal workplaces conflicts, and office romances accepted by both parties, are not workplace harassment or violence.

These actions must be done in a professional and respectful manner. Yelling, swearing and name-calling while performing these actions can be considered harassment.

Actions taken by employers or supervisors in the normal course of evaluating and supervising employees is not workplace harassment. This includes...

  • setting out performance expectations and providing constructive feedback about work performance
  • taking measures to correct performance deficiencies, such as placing an employee on a performance improvement plan
  • taking reasonable disciplinary actions
  • assigning work, and directing how and when it should be done
  • requesting updates or status reports
  • approving or denying time off
  • requesting medical documents to support an absence from work

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.

The Regina Public Library and Saskatoon Public Library are hosting free Law Fair events during Saskatchewan Access to Justice Week to connect people with free legal information, assistance, and support. Attend to acquire legal knowledge and to broaden awareness of legal rights and responsibilities!
