The employer or a manager cannot violate a worker either verbally or physically for any occurrence of an accident or any other reason. You can report it to a labor office, the police, or a court to punish the perpetrator or claim damages.
- Violence doesn’t only include physical assault but also includes repeated verbal abuse such as rough language or swearing.
- If you are a victim of sexual harassment, sexual violence, assault, habitual verbal abuse, etc., you can report it to the employment center and change your workplace if the employment center determines that you cannot continue working at that workplace. This change is not included in the number of your workplace changes.
- If you suffer verbal or physical abuse, it is a good idea to inform your friends of this fact immediately and contact a migrant worker support organization or a trade union to make a responding action together.
- It is important to collect proofs such as witness statements, voice recordings, or videos.
