ANTI-HARASSMENT

OUR COMMITMENT

At Filtervac, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful work environment for all staff and customers.

And no one has the right to harass anyone else, at work or in any situation related to employment. This policy is one step toward ensuring that our workplace is a comfortable place for all of us.

HARASSMENT IS AGAINST THE LAW

The Canadian Human Rights Act and the Canada Labour Code protect us from harassment. The Criminal Code protects us from physical and sexual assault. You have a right to live and work without being harassed, and if you are harassed, you can do something about it and that is to bring it to your immediate supervisor attention without any delay.

All employees have the responsibility to treat each other with respect, and to speak up if they or someone else is being harassed. All employees have a responsibility to report harassment to the appropriate person. All employees are responsible for respecting the confidentiality of anyone involved in a harassment complaint. Each manager and supervisor is responsible for fostering a safe working environment, free of harassment. Managers must set an example for appropriate workplace behavior, and must deal with situations of harassment immediately upon becoming aware of them, whether or not there has been a complaint. Courts may impose penalties on the employer and the manager, even if neither of them was actually involved in or aware of the harassment, but should have known about it. A manager that didn’t do anything to prevent harassment or to mitigate its effects may find her or himself facing financial and legal consequences.

FILTERVAC RESPONSIBILITIES
