Discrimination relates to any of the prohibited grounds contained in the B.C. 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. Employees have the right to employment without discrimination because of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, family status, marital status, physical disability, mental disability, sex, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, political beliefs, and criminal or summary offense unrelated to their employment. Discrimination does not include actions occasioned through exercising in good faith the Employer's managerial/supervisory rights and responsibilities. Protection against discrimination 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 the B.C. 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 British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal or to the process specified in Clause 1.06. 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 1.06. 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.
