The complainant alleged that she was sexually harassed by her employer, the respondent, during her brief period of employment.
The Board of Inquiry admitted similar fact evidence from another former employee who testified to similar unwanted advances.
The Board found that the respondent physically abused the complainant through sexual harassment, which amounted to constructive dismissal and a violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code.
The respondent was ordered to pay $375 for lost wages and $750 in general damages, write a letter of apology, and cease and desist from future sexual harassment.
