The complainant alleged that she was sexually harassed by her employer through consistent verbal comments of a sexual nature, creating a poisoned work environment and leading to her constructive dismissal.
The Board of Inquiry found that the workplace was characterized by general sexual teasing and joking that was accepted and participated in by the employees.
The Board concluded that the complainant failed to clearly express her disapproval of the conduct, and the respondent's actions did not cross the line into sexual harassment.
The complaint of discrimination on the basis of sex was dismissed.
