Bullying in the Workplace

Bullying in the workplace is unfortunately quite common, although often it is not reported. Where this behaviour leads to real psychological stress and a breakdown in health an employee may be able to make a work compensation claim against an employer who has been aware of what was going on, but had done nothing to try and stop it.

If the bullying has caused a real injury, whether physical or psychological, the Courts will award damages or compensation to the victim if the employer is found to have been at fault. An employee suffering from this type of work abuse should report it to the employer immediately and if injured, seek specialist legal advice.
