Workplace Bullying and Harassment Defined Bullying and Harassment is defined as conduct directed against another person that involves comments and/or actions that a reasonable person knows or ought to know would cause offence, humiliation or intimidation to another person. There are two categories of workplace bullying and harassment. These include Discrimination (Human Rights)-based Bullying and Harassment and General Bullying and Harassment. (a) Discrimination-based Bullying and Harassment Discrimination-based Bullying and Harassment is based on the grounds protected by the BC Human Rights Code (i.e. race, sex, colour, ancestry, place of origin, political belief, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or age of that person, or because that person has been convicted of a criminal or summary conviction offence that is unrelated to the employment or to the intended employment of that person). Discrimination-based Bullying and Harassment also includes Sexual Harassment. Sexual harassment includes any unwanted attention of a sexual nature. Examples of this type of conduct may include, but is not limited to the following: ▪ Conduct or comments of a sexual nature that are unwelcome and that create an intimidating, hostile, or poisoned work environment, or that could reasonably be thought to put sexual conditions on an employee's job or employment opportunities; ▪ A compromising invitation with sexual overtones or sexual comment; ▪ Unwanted touching, pinching, patting; ▪ Unwelcome sexual flirtations, advances, propositions or requests; ▪ Sexually suggestive, obscene or degrading comments, remarks, gesturesor innuendoes; ▪ Offensive jokes of a sexual nature; ▪ Leering or unnecessary physical contact; ▪ Displaying or circulating pornographic pictures or other material of a sexual nature; ▪ Remarks about appearance or personal life; and/or ▪ Stalking. Sexual harassment should not be confused with regular social and interpersonal relations between coworkers. Rather, it is behaviour that is coercive, forced, threatening or unwanted.
