Add Comment Question: I am currently on short-term disability leave. I submitted a workplace harassment and violence complaint to the company's HR and would like to clarify something with the respondent before the negotiated resolution meeting. May I email my question directly to the respondent, or do I need to send it to HR and ask HR to forward it? I would prefer to send it directly, but I’m not sure if that’s permitted under the applicable laws or policies. Thank you! Answer: It is likely better if HR intermediates the correspondence between you and the person you complained about. Feel free to contact us to book a consultation for a more in-depth discussion about how to manage the correspondence and your participation in the complaint during your medical leave.
