About this statute

The Act bans discrimination on listed grounds and bars discriminatory hiring, employment terms, job ads, and unequal pay; it also requires accommodation unless undue hardship applies. This part prohibits discrimination and harassment in membership, goods and services, tenancy, publications, and employment-related retaliation, and sets up the Human Rights Commission and its staff powers. This part sets out complaint filing, review, investigation, settlement, dismissal, and adjudication rules, including oath, disclosure, and non-interference requirements. This provision lets adjudication panel members resign by written notice, gives the Speaker and related officials appointment and procedural powers, requires panel members to take an oath before starting, and sets hearing, appeal, costs, and offence rules.
