Workplace Wars: Harassment, Bullying & Your Legal Rights

Loading player...
Is your boss on your back 24/7? Do colleagues spread rumors that damage your reputation? Or maybe you’re dealing with subtle bullying in WhatsApp work groups? 🚨

In this episode of Justice in Motion: Courtside, Sam Marshall sits down with attorney Jared Jones to unpack the real legal remedies for harassment, bullying, and workplace wars. From defamation and harassment orders to remedies under the Labour Relations Act and Employment Equity Act, Jared explains how dignity doesn’t stop at the office door and why documentation, early reporting, and knowing your rights are critical.

Through practical examples and a real-life case study, this masterclass breaks down the myths (“It’s just words,” “It’s HR’s problem,” “WhatsApp is private”) and highlights the serious consequences from fines and dismissals to civil damages and even jail time.

Whether you’re a victim or accused, learn the steps you must take to protect yourself.
