What Constitutes Workplace Harassment?

Workplace harassment includes any unwelcome conduct that demeans, threatens, or humiliates an employee. Under the BC Human Rights Code, harassment and discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, family status, religion, or other protected grounds is unlawful.

Common examples include:

• Verbal abuse and offensive remarks
• Physical intimidation or threats
• Repeated unwelcome jokes or teasing
• Sexualized comments or unwanted advances

What Is Workplace Bullying?

Workplace bullying involves repeated behavior intended to intimidate, degrade, or offend an employee. Bullying comes in many different shapes and forms, and may be verbal, physical, or psychological.

Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Sexual harassment includes any unwelcome sexual behavior, including:

• Requests for sexual favors
• Sexualized jokes, gestures, or remarks
• Inappropriate touching
• Sharing explicit images or emails

Employees do not have to tolerate sexual harassment.

YLaw helps employees file internal complaints and pursue claims before the BC Human Rights Tribunal or in civil court. Contact us.

Discrimination in the Workplace

Under the BC Human Rights Code, it is illegal for employers to discriminate against employees based on personal characteristics such as:

• Gender and sexual identity
• Race, ethnicity, or place of origin
• Disability or age
• Marital or family status

YLaw provides legal representation for employees who have been unfairly treated, disciplined, demoted, or terminated due to discriminatory practices.

YLaw’s Approach to Workplace Misconduct Claims
