Bullying, harassment and discrimination is not acceptable or tolerated at the 番茄社区.

Policy GV0205:  

“Discrimination and Harassment are prohibited at the 番茄社区. Members of the University Community have the right to work, study and participate in activities at the university in an environment free of Discrimination and Harassment. Eligible WorkSafeBC claimants also have a right to an environment free of workplace bullying or harassment as it is defined by regulations pursuant to the British Columbia Workers’ Compensation Act.”

If you think bullying, harassment or discrimination is going on in the workplace, you are expected to report it to your supervisor. The university has a duty to act on concerns that involve inappropriate conduct which may constitute bullying, harassment or discrimination.  

Staff and faculty should report any incident(s) to their direct supervisor, or alternatively the Equity and Human Rights Office (EQHR).  If you believe the employer or direct supervisor is the alleged bully then report the situation to the next level manager in your department/faculty, or to EQHR.  

• Provide as much information as possible including the names of people involved, witnesses, where the events occurred, when they occurred, and what behaviour and/or words led to the complaint.  This allows the incident to be addressed promptly.
• In the event that a report is made to another department or group on campus, the university will coordinate its response between the responsible unit, EQHR, Office of the Vice-President Academic and Provost (VPAC) and , as appropriate.
• Employees may also contact their union/association representative or EQHR for additional support or advice.

Most investigations at UVic will be conducted internally by UVic management or EQHR. It is expected that supervisors will address any reported complaints within their unit and are encouraged to seek advice and assistance from a  or VPAC Faculty Relations, as appropriate.  Supervisors may also seek advice and assistance from EQHR at any point in the follow-up process.

Investigations that are conducted by EQHR, initiated by either an informal or formal complaint, will follow the Complaint Procedures under Policy GV0205 and take into consideration the appropriate Collective Agreement Provisions.

The procedures related to workplace bullying and harassment will be reviewed annually by the University Safety Committee, and the Discrimination and Harassment Policy will be reviewed by the Director, EQHR.
