Workplace Bullying and Harassment Lawyers

Bullying at the workplace is definitely not a good thing and is not allowed as per the Labour and Employment Law UAE. But if you are encountering harassment in your working environment, at that point, there are a few different ways you can effectively manage this. If you will not, then it means you are increasing it yourself. Unlike bullies found in any other place, work environment bullies typically use words and activities to threaten their victims instead of using their fists.

Bullies found in workplaces may either be the chief or another representative; however, the standard is that nobody should act in any manner other than to cause another associate to feel awkward in the workplace. If you are encountering harassment in your working environment, at that point you should consider addressing someone in the HR office for help in settling the issue. If it does not work, then you can contact Our Emirati Lawyers and Legal Consultants. Our Lawyers, authorised and licensed, are capable of delivering the services and are usually known as Labour and Employment Lawyers. 

Never let a bully scare you or cause you to feel awful about yourself, you should be certain about yourself and your activities and always remember your value. It might lead you to a serious mental health issue. Do not tolerate this situation and contact the senior management immediately. If they do not help, then you have the alternative option which is to hire a lawyer.

Consult the Lawyers first, grab the expert opinion, get to know about your legal rights and do not delay in taking the action if it can be taken. Please be informed first you should not be a starter. If the court finds later that you were the one who started it, you can also be accountable for this. Keep silence, simple find a good Employment Lawyer, find the legal solutions and act accordingly. 

You can also submit a complaint to MOHRE/Free Zone Authority if the bullying or harassment is not stopped and company management is not stopping it as well. Keep all the records and proofs that you have gathered in light of the fact, so you can present to HR, Management or even to Court. Like we said before that If the organisation takes any action against him or provide you with all sorts of help then you do not need to worry about anything but on the other side if the organisation blames you and you know that they won’t help you and the bullying will continue then give all the record to your employment law attorney. 

We do understand it’s not easy to find a new and good job. We can understand it’s not easy to take the cases to court and bear the legal expense. But if you win the case, then you can claim all your legal expenses as well as compensation, if possible. Therefore, it is recommended that you first get a consultation, then plan to take legal action. Legal Notices can be served this regard or a direct Court Case is also possible. One needs to sit with the lawyer and prepare the legal strategy. Let’s have a repeat brief discussion about this topic again:
