Frequently Asked Questions
We understand how challenging workplace harassment and bullying can be. Here are some common questions our clients facing harassment often ask us:
What qualifies as workplace harassment?
Workplace harassment includes any unwanted behavior that creates a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment. This could involve verbal abuse, discrimination, sexual harassment, or bullying.
If you feel uncomfortable or targeted at work, a workplace harassment lawyer can help assess your case and advise on the next steps.
What should I do if I’m being bullied at work?
If you’re experiencing workplace bullying, document all incidents and report the behaviour to your employer through their grievance procedure.
If your employer fails to act or the issue persists, a workplace bullying solicitor can assist in filing a formal complaint or pursuing legal action.
Can I take legal action against my employer for workplace harassment?
Yes. If your employer fails to address workplace harassment or bullying appropriately, you may be able to take legal action. This could involve filing a claim with an employment tribunal.
Our experienced workplace bullying lawyers can guide you through this process and help you seek justice.
How long do I have to file a claim for workplace harassment?
In most cases, claims related to workplace harassment must be filed within three months of the last incident. However, exceptions may apply in certain situations. If you believe you have a case, it’s best to consult a workplace harassment lawyer as soon as possible.
