Harassment and the British Columbia Human. Rights Code The parties hereto subscribe to the principles of the Human Rights Code of British Columbia. The Employer, in cooperation with the Union, will promote a work environment that is free from discrimination and harassment where all employees are treated with respect and dignity. Employees have the right to employment without discrimination. Discrimination relates to any of the prohibited grounds contained in the BC Human Rights Code. Prohibited conduct may be verbal, non-verbal, physical, deliberate or unintended, unsolicited or unwelcome, as determined by a reasonable person. It may be one incident or a series of incidents depending on the context. Harassment can include behaviour which ought to be known to be inappropriate and serves no legitimate work purpose. Discrimination and harassment does not include actions occasioned through exercising in good faith the Employer's managerial/supervisory rights and responsibilities. Protection against discrimination and harassment extends to incidents occurring at or away from the workplace during or outside working hours provided the acts are committed within the course of the employment relationship. This clause does not preclude an employee from filing a complaint under Section 13 of the BC Human Rights Code, however, an employee shall not be entitled to duplication of process. An employee making a complaint of discrimination must choose to direct a complaint to either the BC Council of Human Rights or to the process specified in Clause 1.6. In either event a complaint of discrimination, if included as an element of a grievance, shall not be pursued through the process identified in Clause 1.6. An employee who files a written complaint which would be seen by a reasonable person to be frivolous, vindictive or vexatious may be subject to disciplinary action. Disciplinary action taken may be grieved pursuant to Article 8 - Grievances.

Harassment is defined as a “course of vexatious comment or conduct that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome”, that denies individual dignity and respect on the basis of the grounds such as gender, disability, race, colour, sexual orientation or other prohibited grounds, as stated in the Ontario Human Rights Code. All employees are expected to treat others with courtesy and consideration and to discourage harassment. ref. Ontario Human Rights Code, Sec. 10(1). Harassment may take many forms including verbal, physical or visual. It may involve a threat, an implied threat or be perceived as a condition of employment.

The employee should request the harasser to stop the unwanted behaviour by informing the harassing individual(s) that the behaviour is unwanted and unwelcome. Should the employee not feel comfortable addressing the harasser directly, she/he may request the assistance of the manager or a Union representative. If the unwelcome behaviour was to continue, the employee will consult the Hospital policy on harassment and will be free to pursue all avenues including the complaint investigation and resolution. The Parties agree that an employee may have a representative of the Union with her/him throughout the process, if requested.
