Defending Human Rights Complaints

Under Ontario employment law, an employee who believes his or her human rights have been violated at work could bring a discrimination complaint against the employer in the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.  For instance, the employee could allege age discrimination, sexual harassment, pregnancy-related discrimination or that the employer failed to accommodate his or her disability prior to termination. 

A human rights complaint is a serious workplace issue that could harm your company’s reputation as an employer, reduce workplace morale and cost an employer significant time and money.
