Disclosure of your identity
You may request that your identity be kept confidential from your employer during the investigation of a monetary or non-monetary complaint. However, by doing so, you may limit the possibility of facilitating and expediting the handling of your complaint.
Confidentiality cannot be kept if:
- the disclosure is necessary for the purposes of a prosecution
- the disclosure is in the public interest, or
- the Labour Program determines that the disclosure is necessary for the investigation of the complaint to be carried out and you consent to the disclosure in writing. If you refuse to provide consent after being requested to do so in writing, the Labour Program may deem the complaint to be withdrawn
Disclosure of the unjust dismissal complaint form
A copy of your unjust dismissal complaint form and supporting documentation will be provided to the employer and/or their representative named in your complaint.
