The complainant, a waitress, alleged that she was sexually harassed by the assistant manager of the restaurant where she worked, and that she was dismissed for refusing his advances.
The Board of Inquiry found that the assistant manager's conduct, which included asking her out to dinner and some limited physical contact, did not amount to sexual harassment as it was not made a condition of employment.
Furthermore, the Board found that the complainant's dismissal was decided by the general manager and the owner based on her work performance, demeanour, and appearance, and was not influenced by the assistant manager's personal interest in her.
The complaint was dismissed.
