Does your boss care about you? Make sure he pays for it

About 50% of employees experience or experience some form of abuse during their years of work. In the event the employer crosses the border, the employee may file a claim against him even without proof of damage. Lawyer Orna Shmaryahu, who specializes in labor law, explains what counts as employee bullying and what doesn't and what to do in such a case.

So how can an employee know if he is suffering from bullying at work? "When you suffer from bullying it is a physical thing you feel," says Shmaryahu. "I came to a working office that worked in a pretty big advertising office in the country whose name they were given in the office is: 'obscure', crying out. "The judge said that was unacceptable to him. There is some respectful dialogue that should be between employers and employees and what is called a cryptic harms her dignity and the person she is." According to Shmaryahu, employees experience this every day - with employers shouting with employers who decide not to let an employee sit that entire day without action, this is called occupational harassment.

What can be done in case the employee is identified as being trained in it? Shmaryahu encourages employees to complain and not remain silent. "Sometimes employees are silent because they want to make a living but an employee should not shut up and continue to work in an environment that is being abused," she says. In the event that the employee decides to resign, Mariahu recommends that he write a letter to the employer informing him of the intention to resign and the reasons for it. "Such resignation will qualify him on the basis of section 11 of the severance pay law for the payment of severance pay and also for unemployment benefits," explains Shmaryahu.

In addition to the resignation, the employee can sue the employer and demand up to NIS 120,000 in compensation. Shmaryahu says it is important to try to gather evidence to help the employee in case the case comes to court, because it is the word of the employee versus that of the employer and any evidence - recording or documentation can help the court see the facts. Mariahu also recommends that employees consult a lawyer in case they want to file a lawsuit to make sure that the circumstances do end up being bullying at work and not just a subjective feeling.
