The Tribunal found that Ms. G lost her job because she refused to accept sexual harassment as a condition of her employment. You and your witnesses are protected by law from any retaliation once you have laid a human rights complaint. Your employer cannot fire or suspend you, and your landlord cannot evict you. They cannot harass you or intimidate you. If they do, you can file a separate human rights complaint.
Mediation can happen at any stage of the complaint.
Mediation is a process where an officer talks with you and with the person you have complained about. They assist you to come to some kind of solution acceptable to both of you. Your complaint will not go to a formal hearing if it is resolved at this stage. Mediation can happen when you make your first phone call, during the investigation or after a hearing has been scheduled. You can contact your local community centre, aboriginal organization, immigrant services agency, women's centre, library or crisis line for local resources.
