If you have been a victim of bullying in the workplace it is important to understand that all cases are completely individual and will be the result of different circumstances. This is why it is important to have the right experienced professionals to assist you with your case. Bullying in the workplace is a common thing and can be due to a range of motives such as being humiliated, intimidated or offensive behaviour. All employees have equal rights which come under the Equality Act 2010. This means if you have been discriminated or received bullying in the workplace for any reason such as, sex, age, ethnic background, religious beliefs or a disability, the law has been broken. If you have been a victim of bullying in the workplace and been at the tail end of at least two very serious acts (that the individual could go to prison for), will come under the Protection From Harassment Act 1997. You must be able to provide a strong link between your work and the bullying in the workplace that you have received and you will have up to six years to make a court claim.

 

No matter if you have been a victim of bullying in the workplace by a senior, a colleague or a group of colleagues, you have the right to take them to an Employment Tribunal. If you have experienced bullying in the workplace and it has left you with a psychiatric injury as a result, you will be able to make a County Court claim.
