If no settlement is reached at the end of mediation, or if you refuse mediation, you have two options.
First, we offer you a free legal representation service. We can represent you in any administrative or civil proceedings we deem appropriate, including before the Tribunal administratif du travail (TAT) if your complaint is employment-related. When this happens, your complaint is transferred to the TAH without delay, if you agree.
The second option is to hold an administrative investigation within 9 months of receiving your complaint to determine whether reprisal has occurred. This investigation can only be carried out if the courts are not involved. If we find that reprisal has occurred, we make recommendations to rectify the situation.
In addition to these last options, we can also conduct a criminal investigation to determine whether there is an offence in connection with your reprisal complaint.
To find out more, see the Handling reprisal complaints page.
