  Summary: The complaint challenges the decision to dismiss her complaint of harassment as unsubstantiated.

  Considerations 21-22

  Extract:

  In the Tribunal’s view, the humiliating circumstances were exacerbated on the evidence, which the IOS correctly accepted, that the DXD/MER did not invite the complainant for whom she was the first-level supervisor to regular one-on-one meetings. This was an essential supervisory duty. The IOS found that the DXD/MER could not have reasonably known that neglecting to invite the complainant to such meetings regularly would offend, humiliate or intimidate her and that her harassment complaint did not state that the DXD/MER “persistently refused to meet with her” on that basis. According to the IOS, it was open to the complainant to request such meetings if she believed that they were warranted, and it noted that the complainant was also said to be reluctant to meet with the DXD/MER. It therefore concluded that there was no evidence to support the allegation that the latter’s conduct constituted harassment in this respect. This finding was mistaken.
  Regular one-on-one meetings with the complainant as a Department Director to discuss technical and administrative matters, was an essential management requirement for the DXD/MER as her first-level supervisor. It was not dependent upon a request and justification by the complainant.
