Harassment at work in Shawinigan: the basics

If you work for a Quebec-regulated employer in Shawinigan, the Act respecting labour standards protects you against psychological harassment, including sexual harassment. Your employer must prevent it, stop it once it knows, and have a written policy on how to report it.

Steps to take now

• Keep a log: dates, words used, witnesses.
• Save messages: emails, texts and chats, outside your work account if you can.
• Report it in writing to the person named in your employer's policy.
• Watch the deadline: a CNESST complaint must be filed within 2 years of the last incident.

Unionized employees generally go through a grievance with their union. Workplaces under federal jurisdiction, such as banks or airlines, follow the Canada Labour Code.
