New case helps to further define the difference between “workplace harassment” and “legitimate management conduct”
The Ontario Labour Relations Board ("the Board") has provided additional legal interpretation of workplace harassment under the Occupational Health and Safety Act ("OHSA") in Amodeo v Craiglee Nursing Home Limited, 2012 CanLII 53919 (ON LRB), which was decided on September 19th, 2012. In drawing a clear distinction between "workplace harassment" and "legitimate management conduct", the Board has provided some welcome direction on this sometimes contentious workplace issue.
