HRTO Awards $150,000 to Temporary Foreign Worker following Sexual Assault by Employer

The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ordered an employer to pay $150,000.00 to a former temporary foreign worker after finding that the owner and principal of the company had engaged in a series of prolonged unwanted sexual solicitations and advances against her, including sexual assaults.

O.P.T. v. Presteve Foods Ltd., 2015 HRTO 675 (CanLII), now stands as the present ‘high-water mark’ for damages as compensation for injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect.
