Employees
Employee complaints that typically result in lawsuits or legal complaints include the following:
Discrimination
Gender discrimination, racial discrimination, religious discrimination, and discrimination based on sexual orientation are some of the most common forms of discrimination that employees and potential employees encounter.
Sexual Violence
This includes any inappropriate sexually suggestive behaviour and/or speech that hinders an employee’s ability to perform their duties effectively and is typically regarded as discrimination.
Harassment and bullying
Bullying and harassment in the workplace must be investigated and addressed by employers. If an employee files a complaint or the employer has reason to believe that bullying or harassment is taking place in the workplace, they have certain obligations that, if not followed, could lead to serious issues.
Wrongful Termination
If an employee believes they were wrongfully terminated, they can file a lawsuit against their former employer. For instance, if there is evidence to suggest that they were terminated due to their sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or pregnancy.
