Description:

The Canadian Human Rights Act is the central federal legislation that protects the right of individuals to freely participate without unlawful discrimination in all key aspects of society, including employment.

The Canadian Human Rights Act: Quick Reference is intended to provide federal employers, employees and bargaining agents with a complete yet concise overview of the Canadian Human Rights Act and its potential impact on those operating in federally regulated industries. Any employer or service-provider whose enterprise falls within this federal sphere is well advised to familiarize itself with the provisions of the Act. This Quick Reference will also be of interest to human resources professionals across Canada.

The Canadian Human Rights Act: Quick Reference, 2008 Edition features clarifications and source references as well as the following significant additions:
  • A new section has been added to Chapter 3 (Exceptions to the Rule Against Discrimination) to address the newly-issued guide to the return to work process; although not law, the guide provides a helpful resource to employers and employees when dealing with a return to work case after an absence due to illness. Readers may be able to apply the same principles to disability situations, even without a lengthy absence from the workplace.
  • New flowcharts have been included to assist the reader with respect to the Human Rights Commission’s complaint process and the Human Rights Tribunal’s hearing process.
  • Recent case law has been added to reflect the Tribunal’s jurisdiction to award legal costs and to illustrate remedies implemented by the Tribunal for breach of the Act, such as reinstatement, cease and desist orders, and penalties.
This Quick Reference volume also contains the full text of the Canadian Human Rights Act and Regulations and the Employment Equity Act.
