Bullying & Harassment Claims and Compensation

Bullying in the workplace is all too common, and each year thousands of workers suffer stress and health issues because of the way they are treated by bosses and colleagues.

Harassment claims could be made against those who are bullying you.

This may seem like a daunting thing to do, but it is your right to be treated fairly and with respect and no one should have to suffer at the hands of bullies.

Employers have a duty of care to ensure a safe workplace that does not cause you undue stress, so even if it is not your bosses who are causing you problems they should still be taking action to rectify the situation.

If you are being bullied or harassed you have the right to speak out and make a claim against those attacking you, whether they are verbally abusing you or acting aggressively or even physically violent towards you.

Bullying Compensation

You may be entitled to receive bullying compensation depending on your situation.

If it can be shown that others are causing you stress or illness because of the way they are treating you and your employer is not acting quickly or thoroughly enough to put an end to the problem, you could be awarded compensation.

The amount will depend on the exact circumstances and how the bullying or harassment has affected your life and what should have been done to stop it.
