Frequently Asked Questions
What Are My Rights If I Experience Discrimination at Work?
In Canada, employees are protected from workplace discrimination under federal and provincial human rights laws, which prohibit discrimination based on race, gender, religion, disability, and other protected grounds. If you experience discrimination, document it and report it to your employer or HR. If unresolved, you can file a complaint with your provincial or the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
What Is Considered Workplace Harassment?
In Canada, workplace harassment includes any unwelcome conduct that offends, intimidates, or humiliates, such as bullying, threats, or discrimination. It can come from co-workers, supervisors, or clients.
Employers are legally required to prevent and address harassment under health, safety, and human rights laws, often through formal policies and investigations.
If you face harassment, document the incidents and report them through workplace channels. If unresolved, you may file a complaint with your provincial Human Rights Tribunal or Canadian Human Rights Commission.
What Are My Options If I’m Facing Retaliation at Work?
Retaliation—such as firing, demotion, or harassment—for reporting workplace issues or asserting your rights is illegal. This includes complaints about discrimination, harassment, unsafe conditions, or taking parental leave.
Such reprisal can be challenged through a human rights complaint, wrongful dismissal claim, or under Employment & Labor Laws. Be sure to document all related incidents and communications.
What Legal Steps Should I Take When Starting a Business
Starting a business in Canada involves several key legal steps:
- Choose a structure: sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation.
- Register/ Incorporate your business either federal or provincial.
- Understand tax requirements – including GST/HST registration and payroll obligations.
- Comply with employment and industry regulations, especially if hiring staff or operating in a regulated field.
- Protect your brand and IP through trademarks or NDAs.
It’s also wise to draft strong contracts and partnership agreements early on.
