What happens when an employee claims that they were disciplined, treated differently, denied an opportunity, or terminated because they exercised a workplaceright?
These allegations may give rise to a reprisal claim. For employers, understanding
where reprisal protections apply, what constitutes prohibited conduct, and how to
properly document and manage workplace decisions is critical.
Please join Bird Richard’s Associate, Taylor Stanton, for a discussion on:
• What constitutes “reprisal” under the OHSA, ESA, Human Rights Code, and Canada Labour Code;
• Key differences between the statutory protections and applicable tests;
• Common reprisal allegations and where employers can face exposure;
• The relationship between legitimate workplace management decisions and reprisal claims;
• Discipline, performance management and terminations in the context of protected activity;
• Practical strategies for reducing reprisal risk while maintaining appropriate workplace accountability; and
• Recent reprisal case law affecting Ontario employers.
