Reprisal Complaint

Reprisal is any action or threat of action by an employer or union that negatively affects a worker’s employment circumstances.
Workers are protected from reprisal when performing protected activities listed under section 53 of the Workers’ Safety and Compensation Act.
Workers have two choices for reprisal complaints:
1. Collective Agreement: A worker can choose to follow their workplace’s dispute resolution process, as set out in their collective agreement, if there is one. (Timelines and processes applicable would be set out in the applicable collective agreement, please refer to your collective agreement and make appropriate inquiries); or
2. Complaint to the board: A worker can complete the board’s complaint form and send it directly to us.
Reprisal Complaints filed with the board must be submitted within 21 days of the date of the alleged reprisal.
PLEASE NOTE: A worker may choose only one way to make a complaint about the reprisal. If a worker chooses or has already chosen to use their collective agreement process then a reprisal complaint cannot be filed with the board.

If you have a concern about a health and safety matter at a workplace, please contact the Workplace Health and Safety Branch at 867-667-5450 or toll-free at 1-800-661-0443.
