2024-05-28

88. No employer or agent of an employer may dismiss, suspend or transfer an employee, practise discrimination or take reprisals against the employee, or impose any other sanction on the employee on the sole ground that the employee had to leave work precipitously or could not report for work because the employee’s services have been or were required or accepted for the deployment of measures in response to a disaster, to another event that compromises human safety or to the imminence of any of those events, provided the employee informed the employer that the employee had to leave work precipitously or could not report for work.

In addition, any person who believes they are a victim of a sanction referred to in the first paragraph may exercise a remedy before the Administrative Labour Tribunal. The provisions applicable to a remedy relating to the exercise by an employee of a right under the Labour Code (chapter C-27) apply, with the necessary modifications.
