Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board says agency handled complaint in ‘reckless manner’
The Canada Revenue Agency has been ordered to pay the maximum compensation to an Ontario employee who was sexually harassed by her boss after the federal labour board found the organization failed to take steps to prevent it from happening.
In a decision released earlier this year, the board says while the agency quickly launched an investigation in 2010 after Doro filed a sexual harassment complaint against her direct supervisor, Dominic D’Ippolito, it failed to provide a safe level of physical separation between the two. “Ms. Doro had done nothing wrong. At a time when she most needed the support of her colleagues and a safe and secure workplace, the CRA thought it might move her workplace to another city to solve its own problem,” the board wrote in its ruling.
Doro experienced “almost daily unwanted attention while she was captive at her desk,” the board said. One two occasions, D’Ippolito touched her while she was at her desk, with one of those incidents described as a back rub, it said. Doro eventually reported the harassment, prompting management to intervene, it said. After presenting her with several options, including switching offices and working from home, management moved Doro’s desk, it said.
