      • Citizenship
      • Ethnic origin
      • Place of origin
      • Creed

If there  is a human rights violation in the workplace, employees can seek damages including damages for injury to dignity and lost wages.

Additionally, the team at Zubas Flett Liberatore Law LLP have years of experience advising not just employees but employers and businesses in drafting their workplace policies on harassment, violence, and anti-discrimination as well as handling investigations.
