Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
Hi , thank you dear reader for your attention and time, in advance as well as for your reply. I am a little bit at odds with a legal matter, and for the sake of clarity , writing to earmark your expert advice after reviewing CP24 bulletins 'ask a lawyer".
After carefully reading an entitled complaint policy, and making a complaint in good faith about an employee, where the use of violence wasn't being properly reported and/or documented and the effectively dealt with through a proposed mediation, that did not take place because the complaint policy states 'health and safety issues are not to be considered for mediation' and so I was dismayed when asked to take part on that, and worst even told that what \i was reporting, wasn't happening and when it was on CCTV camera, being denied the footage of said violence.....
So in effect facing the reprisal of complaining but, the complaint policy I followed to the letter , and feeling kind of targeted by this employer and their processes, which I have requested to meet with the CEO, and given prospective dates in February for a Zoom Call, to meet and discuss, but like what do I say about how this incident which was after years of reporting harrasment and intimidation, culminated in violnce and how leadership staff doesn't want to acept that their staff refused to properly adhere to their professional abilities, and where liability comes in for the fact that this has been so long in taking the time to report because of the director, under the CEO refusing to adhere to her policies?
Hello,
If you report an incident of workplace violence or harassment, your employer has a duty to investigate it. If they fail to do so, you can report the issue to the Ministry of Labour - Health and Safety branch. The Ministry will investigate the matter and make sure that the proper procedures are followed.
