There is no legal definition of bullying but it can be summarised as a one off incident or series or incidents, which you find to be offensive, malicious or intimidating. It can also take the form of a misuse of power, where someone seeks to undermine or humiliate you. You can also be bullied by a subordinate, for instance through continued disrespect or non-compliance with instructions.
Harassment at work occurs where bullying or unwanted behaviour towards you is related to a protected characteristic (for instance, sex, race, gender or age).
In the first instance, you should talk to your line manager or another trusted colleague. If problems persist you should raise a grievance, outlining your concerns in writing.
You should always appeal any grievance, if you are unhappy with the outcome. If you are still experiencing bullying or harassment, you could consider resigning and claiming unfair constructive dismissal or asking your employer if it would consider agreeing an exit package to allow you to leave with compensation. We recommend that you seek legal advice before taking such action.
Yes, in certain circumstances you may have a claim for unfair constructive dismissal (although you have to have worked for your employer for at least 2 years) or discrimination (which applies from the first day of employment).
