Workplace Discrimination Complaint
कार्यस्थलमा भेदभाव उजुरी
Context: A worker discusses a workplace discrimination complaint with a legal advisor at the Human Rights Commission.
Advisor
Thank you for contacting the Human Rights Commission. Can you describe what happened at your workplace?
कर्मचारी
मेरो म्यानेजरले मेरो अंग्रेजी उच्चारणको कारणले मलाई ग्राहकसँग कुरा गर्न दिँदैन। मलाई सधैं पछाडिको काम दिइन्छ।
Advisor
That could be racial discrimination under the Racial Discrimination Act. Everyone has the right to be treated equally in the workplace, regardless of their background.
कर्मचारी
मैले म्यानेजरसँग कुरा गरें तर उनले बेवास्ता गरे। HR मा पनि उजुरी गरें तर कुनै जवाफ आएन।
Advisor
Since your internal complaint wasn't addressed, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commission. We'll investigate the matter and try to reach a resolution through conciliation.
कर्मचारी
कन्सिलिएसन भनेको के हो?
Advisor
It's a meeting between you and your employer, facilitated by a Commission member, to try to resolve the issue. It's confidential and less formal than going to court.
कर्मचारी
के मलाई नौकरीबाट निकालिन्छ?
Advisor
It's unlawful for your employer to dismiss or disadvantage you for making a discrimination complaint. This is called adverse action and it's protected by law.
कर्मचारी
मलाई दुभाषिया पाइन्छ?
Advisor
Yes, we provide free interpreter services for all complaint processes. I'll also send you an information sheet in Nepali explaining the process.
