Q: An individual verbally harassed and physically threatened me at work -& there's video evidence. What are my options?
The individual that harassed me continues to work there, and creates a hostile environment.
A: First step is to report this to your employer. You may also need to consider petitioning for a PPO.
A: It’s good that there is hard evidence in the case, rather than a case of he said she said. The first step is to document with the HR department at your company. Hopefully your employer will take steps to ensure that this does not happen again. If they do not, you will have a compilation of evidence to support a potential hostile work environnment case. Contact a hostile work environment lawyer to discuss the details of your case.
