Loretta W. Mikus

The complainant alleged that she was sexually harassed by her employer, who continuously proposed marriage, touched her inappropriately, and changed her hours of work after she rejected his advances.

After she filed a human rights complaint, the employer sent her a threatening card with play money, which she perceived as a threat to her life.

The Board of Inquiry found that the employer's conduct constituted sexual harassment and reprisal under the Human Rights Code.

The Board awarded the complainant special damages for lost wages and a missed bonus, general damages for mental anguish, and ordered the employer to attend human rights training.
