Workplace Harassment and Violence Policies

In 2010, the Ontario Government passed into law Bill 168, an amendment to the Occupational Health and Safety Act, which requires employers to adopt policies with regard to violence and harassment in the workplace. The United Church of Canada is committed to zero tolerance of violence and harassment in any form whether directed toward its employees or any other individual affiliated with the United Church or perpetrated by them. Bill 168 means that each congregation and/or ministry must approve and post policies and know what steps to take if you receive a complaint. Below are the harassment and violence policies of St. Davids-Queenston United Church.
