Section 35 — Employment Equity Act: Violation

Every private sector employer commits a violation of this Act who without reasonable excuse, fails to file an employment equity report as required by section 18; without reasonable excuse, fails to include in the employment equity report any information that is required, by section 18 and the regulations, to be included; or provides any information in the employment equity report that the employer knows to be false or misleading. A violation that is committed or continued on more than one day constitutes a separate violation for each day on which it is committed or continued. A violation is not an offence and accordingly the Criminal Code does not apply in respect of a violation.
