Abuse. The parties agree that abuse and/or threatening behaviour from residents to staff must be addressed. The Employer supports an environment in which staff are treated with dignity and respect. There will be no backlash or retaliation for lodging a complaint, or participating in an investigation, in good faith. Abuse or threatening behaviour by residents may include, but is not limited to physical abuse, psychological abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse. The parties further agree that the Long Term Care environment contains residents who, through no fault of their own, exhibit behaviours and actions that are unwelcome to staff. The workplace is built around managing these behaviours to the benefit of both the residents and the staff. It is agreed that when an employee is faced with abuse from a resident it may be necessary for that employee to leave the threatening situation and immediately notify her supervisor, who will assess the situation and give further direction. It is agreed that no employee will be obligated to work one- on-one until a satisfactory resolution has been reached. In the event that a resident knowingly continues with the harassment following the above procedure, further action will be taken which may include the staff member being given the opportunity to voluntarily transfer, without penalty or loss of income, to a different work area or be assigned a different resident. Where the employee is not satisfied with the intervention, the employee may raise the matter with the Unit Chairperson, or designate. She, in turn, may discuss the matter with the Administrator in an attempt to reach a mutually agreeable resolution.
