Human Rights Lawyer for Workplace Discrimination Disputes

The Ontario Human Rights Code protects workers from discrimination based on age, ancestry, race, colour, disability status, sexual orientation, gender, record of offences, and many other protected grounds. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean workplace discrimination no longer occurs. A Human Rights Lawyer knows that it can take many forms beyond just insensitive comments—such as unequal treatment, exclusion, or unfair disciplinary action.

At CBLAW in Toronto, our lawyers represent employees in this type of sensitive employment-related litigation. Proven litigators, we work diligently for our clients to find the creative strategies that best protect their rights and interests.

Know How To Recognize Discrimination And Human Rights Violations

There are all types of ways that discrimination can manifest itself in the workplace. Our lawyers can gather evidence, including records of emails, pay stubs and other documents, locate and interview witnesses to determine what occurred.

Some common types of workplace discrimination can include:

  • Disciplining an employee for a workplace violation when co-workers committing the same violation received no violation
  • Giving an employee one duty while everyone else at the same position does not have to perform the extra duty
  • Reducing an employee’s pay or hours or giving him or her duties outside the bounds of his or her position for reporting discrimination
  • Laying off an employee of a different race or older age when all other employees at the same level retained their jobs
  • Failing to make reasonable accommodations for an employee’s disability, pregnancy or religious beliefs

As litigators, we know that many times it is in our clients’ best interest to avoid litigation. However, we will only recommend you accept a settlement if it is in your best interests.
