Employer Retaliation And Waivers
Summary
In Ontario, employees cannot waive their statutory rights under the Employment Standards Act (ESA), such as overtime and holiday pay. Filing a complaint is protected by the Human Rights Code, ensuring employees can file without fear of retaliation. Contract law evaluates the enforceability of waivers, while common law considers fairness and good faith. If terminated without cause after requesting accommodations, it may involve human rights protections. Consulting a lawyer for specific advice is recommended.Full Conversation
What is the rule that states that?
In Ontario, the Human Rights Code provides protection against retaliation for filing complaints with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO). This means that even if an employee signed a waiver, they are protected by the Code from being sued by their employer for filing a complaint. The Code ensures that waivers cannot prevent employees from exercising their right to file a complaint.
What is the hrto rule law or section that states that point
In Ontario, the relevant section of the Human Rights Code that provides protection against retaliation for filing complaints is Section *. This section ensures that no one can be penalized for filing a complaint with the HRTO. Do you have any other questions about this?
