Harassment and Discrimination - Ontario Human Rights Code. The Parties to this Agreement are committed to creating and maintaining a working environment that is founded on the principles of the Ontario Human Rights Code. Therefore, the Parties to this Agreement are committed to creating and maintaining a working environment where behaviour that is contrary to the Ontario Human Rights Code is not condoned. Complaints may be filed in accordance with the grievance and arbitration procedures set out in this Agreement, provided that if the allegations involve the person who would normally deal with the first step of such a grievance, the next level of supervision will hear the grievance. The Employee also has the right to file a complaint directly with the Ontario Human Rights Commission. In the event that the Commission elects to investigate or otherwise proceed with the complaint, applicable grievance and arbitration timelines will be extended until those proceedings are concluded. Employees found to have harassed or discriminated against others could face disciplinary action ranging from verbal warning up to and including termination. Where an investigation concludes that a transfer of an employee may be required for the protection of the employee who has been harassed, it shall be the employee who has instigated the harassment who shall be transferred and not the employee who is victim to the harassment except in cases where the victim has requested the transfer.
