Human Rights Tribunal awards for sexual harassment could be getting bigger in Alberta, if a recent award is any indication.
On March 8, the tribunal ordered John Gursoy, CEO of TJ Construction and Management, to pay three former employees $230,000 in general damages and lost wages. The employees, three women who worked in the office, charged him with five complaints in total – three for discrimination based on gender and two for retaliation.
The retaliation charges come from counterclaims that he filed against all three employees claiming they were deliberately trying to harm his business and reputation.
