Bullying and Harassment

Unfortunately, allegations of bullying and harassment sometimes arise in places of employment. These situations must be dealt with quickly and effectively to ensure the safety of employees and their protection in the workplace. Bullying or harassment of any kind by employers or co-workers is unacceptable. In the case of employers, it may lead to constructive dismissal claims.

Our advocacy includes:

• Helping you to determine whether to proceed with a complaint
• The making of a formal complaint
