Psychological harassment, according to the law
To establish that the case actually involves psychological harassment, the presence of all the elements of the definition set out in the Act respecting Labour Standards must be shown, as follows:
1. Vexatious conduct
2. Repetitive in nature, or a serious isolated act
3. Verbal comments, gestures or behaviours that are hostile or unwanted
4. Violation of dignity or integrity
5. Harmful work environment for the victim
