1In Decision, 2013 HRTO 2102, I determined that the applicant had established on a balance of probabilities that her shoulder injury was a factor in the termination of her employment.
2In her Application, the applicant sought damages for lost wages. The applicant listed $1,792 as the amount of lost wages up to the date of her Application (May 1, 2013). The applicant also sought as a non-monetary remedy that the respondent put in place policies to ensure that other employees are not discriminated against. The applicant testified at the hearing that she became re-employed on June 17, 2013. She testified that she searched for employment from the date of her termination until the date she became re-employed.
3The applicant was self-represented at the hearing. She did not make submissions as to whether she was seeking monetary compensation for injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect under s. 45.2 (1) of the Human Rights Code, R.S.O. 1990 c. H.19, as amended (the “Code”). Meanwhile
