The complainant, who has a mental handicap, was employed at a bakery where he was subjected to ongoing verbal abuse and harassment by his supervisor.
The supervisor called him derogatory names, unjustifiably criticized his work, and forced him to eat a sugarless pie as punishment.
The Board of Inquiry found that the supervisor's actions constituted harassment because of handicap under the Human Rights Code.
The corporate employer was held personally liable under the organic theory of corporate liability because the supervisor was part of the directing mind.
The Board awarded the complainant general damages for mental anguish and compensation for lost wages.
