The Occupational Health and Safety Act Sample Clauses

The Occupational Health and Safety Act defines workplace harassment as engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct against a worker in a workplace that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome. For clarification, harassment does not include, among other things, proper management disciplinary actions, counseling, or actions related to performance or attendance problems that are conducted according to the City’s procedures. Should an employee believe they are a victim of harassment he/she should follow the procedures outlined in the City’s Respect in the Workplace Policy. If the issue is still not resolved through the Respect in the Workplace Policy, it may be filed as a grievance at step #2 within ten (10) working days after the conclusion of the Harassment Policy process. It is understood that the City’s Respect in the Workplace Policy will be administered consistently and fairly and be revised on a regular basis. Where the employer conducts an investigation involving bargaining unit members, a summary of the findings will also be provided to the complainant, respondent and union representative where appropriate. The President of CUPE Local 3760 or designate will be provided access to the report to read in full. In any conflicts between this Article and the OHRC and/or the OHSA the OHRC and the OHSA shall supersede this Article.
