Is there someone at work who:

• Makes repeated, unsolicited sexual proposals?
• Makes humiliating comments about your sexuality, physical appearance or sexual orientation?
• Uses his position of authority to demand any kind of sexual contact?

These and other actions are "sexual harassment". You can file a complaint with the police. You can file a civil lawsuit in court. You can also try to resolve the matter within your workplace. Your employer has obligations under the Law Against Sexual Harassment.

Your employer must: (among other things)

• Appoint someone to be responsible for the subject of sexual harassment, to receive and investigate complaints about sexual harassment at work, and to give a written report to your employer.
• Take steps to prevent sexual harassment in your workplace, such as:
  • Informing employees that sexual harassment is against the law,
  • Demanding that every employee refrain from engaging in sexual harassment at work, and
  • Telling employees the name of the person responsible for handling complaints about sexual harassment and the procedures for filing a complaint.
• Review written reports from the person responsible for investigating sexual harassment, decide on a course of action to prevent any sexual harassment from recurring and remedy the harm.
• Post or distribute code of practice setting out the law against sexual harassment and prejudicial treatment, and the company's procedures for filing complaints, if there are more than 25 employees.
