Workplace Harassment Case | Assisting a Victim of Workplace Verbal Abuse, with a Demotion of the Perpetrator

The detailed account of the client who came regarding a workplace harassment case is as follows.

The client, a public official, had continually received verbal abuse from a workplace superior in the same department.

The superior treated the client in a degrading manner, citing the client's lack of competence and the resulting delays in work, and imposed work-related disadvantages.

The superior also called the client in under the pretext of work instructions and continued private conversations.

The client tried to resolve the matter amicably through dialogue, but the superior did not stop the cursing and insulting remarks.

Ultimately, the client decided to respond legally and visited Daeryun to proceed with the case together with a specialist attorney who has handled many 🔗workplace harassment cases.

For this offense to be established, all three of the following requirements must be satisfied.

Requirement 1. Use of superiority such as one's position or relationship in the workplace

Requirement 2. Conduct exceeding the appropriate scope of work

Requirement 3. Causing physical or mental suffering, or worsening the working environment

Where the perpetrator of workplace harassment is a public official, that person is subject to criminal punishment and may at the same time be subject to a disciplinary action under the public officials act.

Disciplinary actions include dismissal, removal, demotion, suspension, salary reduction, and reprimand, and are determined by considering the degree of the misconduct, whether it was repeated, the extent of the harm, and similar factors. The statutes relevant to the case are as follows.

▶ Level of punishment

The client reported the perpetrator's unlawful conduct, but the perpetrator, without showing remorse, instead continued retaliatory secondary harassment.

The labor attorney secured objective materials such as records of contact with the respondent, witness statements, and CCTV, and on this basis proved the charge of workplace verbal abuse.

It was emphasized that, due to the perpetrator's repeated conduct, the client is currently in a state in which normal daily life is impossible.

The client had continuously experienced verbal abuse including sexual harassment, insulting remarks, unfair personnel measures, and work-related disadvantages from the perpetrator.

The labor attorney secured the recording files, text messages, work logs, and the like from the time of the harm, proving that the profanity and remarks degrading the client's character had actually occurred.

In addition, the attorney emphasized that the perpetrator had continuously harassed the client by spreading false statements to colleagues, and emphasized that this clearly constituted workplace harassment.

Because the process of proving the facts in this case is complex, it can be said that obtaining the assistance of a specialist attorney is crucial.

The 🔗industrial accident attorney systematically supports the entire process, from organizing initial statements to gathering evidence, drafting petitions, and responding to litigation, thereby protecting the rights of the victim.

In addition, by providing legal services and psychological treatment in an integrated manner, the attorney comprehensively supports the client's psychological recovery and stable return to daily life.
