Other rights for workers

You have other legal rights that are not in the ESA.

For example, you have rights related to:

  • harassment or discrimination
  • health and safety

Your local community legal clinic may be able to give you information or advice about problems related to your rights at work.

Make a human rights claim

If your employer does not respect your human rights, you may be able to bring a claim to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.

In most cases, you must do this within one year of when the problem happened. And you cannot make a claim for the same reason with a court or the Ministry of Labour.

The Human Rights Legal Support Centre has information to help you apply to the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. Call 1-866-625-5179. For TTY, call 1-866-612-8627.
