Add Comment Question: I worked for a year as a server. I was assaulted in the workplace (going through court now) and felt unsafe to return to work, so I resigned. After the initial shock of the incident, and knowing the that my safety was secured, I requested to return to work. They have refused my return to work. Is there anything that can be done? Answer: Yes, this may amount to reprisal under workplace violence provisions of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and a constructive dismissal. I would recommend you contact us to speak with a lawyer about your potential recourse and entitlements.
