What are my rights if I’m harassed at work in BC?
Workplace harassment and bullying are not tolerated in BC. Employers are legally required to maintain a safe and respectful workplace under WorkSafeBC regulations. If you’re harassed, report it to your employer in writing. If they do not act, you can contact WorkSafeBC (opens in a new tab) for support. Human rights-related harassment, like discrimination, can be addressed through the BC Human Rights Tribunal (opens in a new tab). If you are sexually harassed you can get free legal advice from the SHARP Workplaces clinic (opens in a new tab).
