Workplace Discrimination Allegations and Human Rights Claims

The Ontario Human Rights Code prohibits discrimination in the workplace. Specifically, section 5(1) of the Code states that every person has a right to equal treatment with respect to employment without discrimination due to: race; ancestry; place of origin; colour; ethnic origin; citizenship; creed; sex; sexual orientation; gender identity; gender expression; age; record of offences; marital status; family status; and disability.
