Workplace Harassment and Bullying Claims

In Ontario, employees are legally entitled to a workplace that is free from harassment and bullying. Harassment can take many forms, including offensive jokes, unwelcome comments, exclusion or isolation, intimidation, and verbal or psychological abuse.

If you are experiencing or have experienced harassment or bullying at work, the team at Singh Lamarche LLP is here to help you understand your rights and explore your legal options.

We provide tailored advice depending on your goals:

• If you want to remain in your job but need a safer work environment, we can support you in raising the issue with your employer and seeking appropriate workplace accommodations or protections. Your employer has a legal obligation to provide a safe and respectful workplace.
• If you are considering leaving your job due to harassment, but are concerned about financial loss, we can guide you through your legal entitlements and help you pursue a fair exit strategy or settlement.
• If you have been terminated after experiencing or reporting workplace harassment, we can advise you on your rights, including potential claims for wrongful dismissal and breaches of Ontario’s occupational health and safety or human rights legislation.

We understand the difficulty of navigating these circumstances. Our lawyers are committed to helping employees who have been subjected to bullying or harassment in the workplace. We would be pleased to support you through this process with compassion and expertise.
