WORKPLACE BULLYING LAW JACQUELINE M. SOTO

WORKPLACE BULLYING LAW - DEFINITION  The Workplace Bullying Institute defines workplace bullying as “Repeated, health-harming mistreatment of one or more persons by one or more perpetrators that takes on one or more of the following forms:  Verbal Abuse  Offensive conduct/behaviors which are threatening, humiliating, or intimidating  Workplace interference –which prevents work from getting done

WORKPLACE BULLYING LAW This legislation would:  Make it illegal to harass, abuse, threaten, humiliate, or intimidate employees at work  Make it illegal to retaliate against a person because the person complained or brought forward legal action  Require that employers document cases of workplace bullying that are investigated  Not require any notices  Require companies to have a specific policy that details workplace bullying

WORKPLACE BULLYING LAW CONTINUED  Allow an employee to file a lawsuit against an employer who tolerated workplace bullying or an employee who committed workplace bullying acts  Allow restoration of lost wages and benefits in certain situations

WORKPLACE BULLYING EFFECTS  35% of the workforce report being bulled at work, an estimated 53.5 million Americans  Workplace Bulling can effect a person’s anxiety and stress level which can be covered under the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act  Continuous and intermittent leave can be very disruptive for businesses, managers, and co-workers

WORKPLACE BULLYING – LEGAL PRECEDENCE  Limited legal precedence  Hostile Work Environment is illegal – discriminate against a protected classification and the behavior must be severe, lasting over a time period, and must seriously disrupt the employee’s work  Healthy Workplace Bill  25 states have introduced workplace bullying legislation – no law yet

WORKPLACE BULLYING POLICY  Enforce an environment that is free from harassment or mistreatment  Employees are expected to report any situations or activities that they feel are contrary to the law or the accepted values and policies of the company  Employees are responsible for reporting at an early stage to prevent escalation  Retaliation against any employee for making in good faith a report of workplace bullying would be prohibited

WORKPLACE BULLYING LAW  The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission would oversee and enforce the Workplace Bullying Law  The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of their race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information  Have the authority to investigate charges of discrimination and to prevent discrimination  Responsibilities and duties of this commission would be the same but expand to cover the Workplace Bullying Law
