Workplace discrimination and harassment can deeply impact your career, well-being, and future opportunities. If you’ve been treated unfairly because of your race, gender, age, disability, religion, or other protected characteristics, you have the right to take action.
We help employees fight back against workplace injustices, hold employers accountable, and secure fair compensation.
Every employee in Canada has the right to fair treatment, equal opportunities, and a safe work environment. Under the Ontario Human Rights Code and Canadian Human Rights Act, employers cannot discriminate against employees based on:
● Race, ethnicity, or national origin
● Gender identity or sexual orientation
● Age (youth or senior employees)
● Disability (physical or mental)
● Religion, faith, or beliefs
● Pregnancy or parental leave status
● Family status (caregiving responsibilities)
● Marital status
● Criminal record (in certain cases)
Employers must also provide reasonable accommodations for disabilities, religious practices, and family responsibilities to ensure fairness in the workplace.
If you’ve experienced discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment based on any of these factors, we can help.
Many employees don’t recognize when their rights are being violated. Here are some common situations where you may have a legal case:
Discrimination in Hiring & Promotions
● Passed over for a job or promotion due to gender, race, or age
● Being asked inappropriate personal questions during interviews
Unfair Treatment at Work
● Unequal pay for the same job responsibilities
● Different work conditions based on identity (race, gender, disability, etc.)
Harassment & Hostile Work Environments
● Sexual harassment from managers or coworkers
● Racial slurs, offensive jokes, or bullying
● Being excluded from meetings or decision-making
Failure to Provide Accommodations
● Employer refusing reasonable adjustments for a disability
● Denying modified work duties after an injury
Wrongful Termination & Retaliation
● Fired after reporting discrimination or harassment
● Employer cutting hours or demoting you for taking parental leave
If any of these sound familiar, you may have a strong case for compensation or legal action.
