Not even the fine print.
I wanted to cover my butt so I read ALL the pages. Just a friendly reminder, read and ask questions. Your signature speaks volumes so best to grasp an understanding before you ink that paper.
This is what was promised among others:
“Maintain a safe and healthy
workplace.”
“Provide training and learning
opportunities for all personnel to foster growth.”
“Work in an ethical and professional
manner.”
“Everyone that you deal with both
internally and externally should be treated with respect at all times.”
This is what's written to support the law:
“Fairness in the workplace is the right
of all Ontarians.”
“Definitions
Workplace violence means:
The exercise of physical force by a
person against a worker, in a workplace, that causes or could cause physical
injury to the worker
An attempt to exercise physical force
against a worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the
worker
A statement or behaviour that it is
reasonable for a worker to interpret as a threat to exercise physical force
against the worker, in a workplace, that could cause physical injury to the
worker.
Workplace harassment means:
Engaging in a course of vexatious
comment or conduct against a worker in a workplace
that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome.
Workplace harassment may
include bullying, intimidating or offensive jokes or
innuendos, displaying or circulating offensive pictures or materials, or
offensive or intimidating phone calls.”
It seems to me that "confidentiality" and "professionalism" may seem optional. Because for some reason, word goes around. And now, I'm judged. Looked at differently.
"Individuals who wish
to remain anonymous may do so."
I like your all post. You have done really good work. Thank you for the information you provide, it helped me a lot. I hope to have many more entries or so from you.
