What rights do employees have regarding alleged harrassment and intimidation in the workplace ? (Length of employee service around 5 months)
IE:
Alleged demeaning management attitude,
Alleged comments regarding job security,
Alleged undermining of competent worker by overloading & constant criticism !
Alleged overbearing supervision alleged unfair treatment
Any advice would be appreciated
Thank You

Dear Anthony
I refer to your query.
It is not possible to make a direct complaint to an employment tribunal about bullying. However, an employee might be able to bring complaints under laws covering discrimination and harassment such as race, sex, disability, sexual orientation, religion or belief.
Furthermore, employers have a 'duty of care' for all their employees. If the mutual trust and confidence between employer and employee is broken - for example, through bullying and harassment at work - then an employee can resign and claim 'constructive dismissal' on the grounds of breach of contract.
I would therefore advice you to seriously investigate the allegations.
Kind regards.

I understand employees with less than 12 months service have little or no rights in the workplace - Is this correct?
Can 'constructive dismissal' be claimed by employees with less than a 12 months service?
