Other rights for workers
You have other legal rights that are not in the ESA.
For example, you have rights related to:
- harassment and 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.
CLEO has a tool to help you compare your legal options when you have a human rights problem at work. You can use it by going to stepstojustice.ca/resource/work-discrim.
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 711.
