So,
I found myself in a very unique position today and actually got a little chuckle out of it. As I mentioned a while ago last fall I took a job with a company that was based in the United States that was expanding into Canada. I spent the winter working away from home as a project manger building solar farms. When I completed my project I was offered a promotion to "Director of Ontario Operations" and have been working from home for the past 2 months while we are waiting for new projects to start up.
I have been very busy while at home converting all the US company documents to better align with Canadian Laws, developing policies and procedures and networking with potential suppliers and customers. Well todays task was reviewing the "US Version" Employee handbook and making it better apply to the Canadian business.
At first I did not even think about me and looking to see if Gender Identity was covered, but once it dawned on me that I better look into it I noticed it was not specifically mentioned. It covered sexual orientation and the usual stuff (race, disability ect..) but gender identity was not mentioned anywhere.
So I looked up the Ontario Human rights code and sure enough it was there. Of course I copied it word for word into my employee handbook, just like the old saying goes....
gotta cover your a$$
