What is victimisation?

Employers and workers should remember that the Act also prohibits victimisation. Victimisation happens when a person has either made a complaint or intends making a complaint to the Commission and is threatened or harassed by others involved in the complaint. This is a serious matter and penalties can be imposed on those responsible for victimisation.

Case Study

Jose, a garage mechanic, had his complaint about racial discrimination accepted by the Commission. His boss then told him that if he did not withdraw his complaint he would be sacked. Jose could make a complaint of victimisation.
