NC-251 - Harassment

The Appellant appealed the Respondent’s decision dismissing his harassment complaint on the basis that the actions of the Alleged Harasser did not amount to harassment. The Appellant argues that the harassment investigation was not sufficiently thorough and that the decision was therefore reached in a procedurally unfair manner. The Appellant also argues that the decision is clearly unreasonable.

The ERC found that the Appellant’s argument pertaining to the sufficiency of the harassment investigation constitutes a new argument that should not be considered on appeal. The ERC further found that the Appellant did not establish that the Respondent’s findings are clearly unreasonable.

The ERC recommends that the appeal be dismissed.
