Absolutely there are laws to protect you, but what you have stated is somewhat vague, you should try asking a more specific questions, where did the icident take place home, work? what kind of harassment? sexual, physical,or verbal was it your boss or a coworker.

Your friend still has rights, but generally one of the terms that your friend may have agreed to as part of the agreement for probabtion is that the police can search without cause any time they want as often as they want. Your friend would be subject to the same type of "harrassment," as you put it, if he/she were in jail or prison. The purpose being that, while you friend is not in jail or prison, you friend needs to obey the law at all times to avoid being sent to jail or prison.

You DO have legal recourse, regardless of anything you may have done to pizz her off.  She might just blow away if you were to confront her and answer her questions and take her hostile comments so she she could get it out of her system.  Then again, she could cut the brake cables on your car.  Obviously she is obsessed with knowing fine details about who you are, and is in a poor state of mental health.  Such people can be very dangerous.  Get in touch with local law enforcement now and ask them what can be done.  Your coworkers are witnesses.  The police are there to protect you, not to judge you.

Under HIPAA, nothing.  Discipline is in the hands of the employer, not the act.  Follow your policy and procedures in handling this matter.

Firstly, are you on medication and do you take it regularly? Does your doctor need to adjust the dose or does the dose still suit you? Being properly medicated will help you cope with what is going on at work.\n\nSecondly, I don't know what country you are in but it is against the law for you to be discriminated against because of your health. Bullying and being made fun of at work is illegal. These people at work are picking on you because they see you as an easy target who does not fight back. \n\nFight back by seeing a community health service, hospital or your doctor for some counselling and support about how to deal with the people at work. Through this health service you should be able to get information about where to find legal help. \n\nWhen you know what your rights are you feel stronger and will be able to choose how to go about stopping the bullying or finding another job or whatever it is that you decide to do. You have options and a counsellor can help you work this out. You do not have to do this on your own.\n\nI hope this helps. Good luck.

You are on limited duty because..... \n\nIf accident at work, your covered under worker compensation, and company should respect the limitations.  On the other hand, if you were injured off the job, or contacted some illness that required limited duty, you have certain obligations not to engage in any activity which would endanger your health or aggravate your condition.\n\nIf your supervisor insists that you perform work which you and your doctor feel would be detrimental to your well-being, then I would recommend that you tell the supervisor that you are refusing due to health condition, and that if s/he persists in threatening you, that you will exercise your options - legal and otherwise.

well i am sure this is some good but I am unaware of it. All I know is that the unions break the law constantly. You cannot fight them, you cannot win. And chances are you will break your neck if you try to reach for the brass ring they will dangle in your face. I assume you are a worker that will be directly affected by this vs someone like me who just works in the office, right ? Ask yourself this: DO you ever want to be self-employed ? IF the answer is yes, you are going to have a hard time being in the union's system.

If you're not "Flaming", it's not only unfair, it's possibly illegal.\nYour boss has a right to demand that you behave in a professional manner but does not have the right to censor your personal life or ask you to lie.\nSpeak with a lawyer before you act on my belief that it's unlawful discrimination or sexual harrassment, because the law may be different in your jurisdiction.

If you are not safe, you are not free.  Many times, when a person was attacked (be it rape, robbery, whatever) I have heard people say things like, "Well, she should not have gone to the mall by herself at night.  It's not safe."  Or, "Well, he should not have driven through that neighborhood." So, how free are we if a law-abiding citizen "is not supposed to" go out where they want to legally go?  \n\nI have nothing against security measures such as cameras in parks, parking lots, etc.  The camera does not prevent you from doing one legal thing.

Don't contact anybody in the company to do something about it, save that for the attorney. HR is there to protect the company not to help the employee. They will start "shredding", getting stories right, conduct a token investigation, etc... The longer they are unaware the better. Let them drown in their own ego's. DON'T speak about it to ANYONE at work(the company has spies).  As instances happen,or shortly after, like on break, document what happened (who,what,when,where)(with who witnessed). Obtain names and contact info for all coworkers you can,and break it down into category's (victims, witnesses, offenders). \nContact some GOOD attorney with as much info you can give.\n\n\nAre the people being harassed of a certain class? (race,gender, age, disability, religion,sexual orientation,etc) if so its discrimination.\nIt has to be about money: it talks the loudest!, when it starts costing the company $ it gets the big people involved.\nStress may be a workers comp illness claim. $$\nI loath this typ of behavior.

sorry to hear about your hard time and being ill.\nunfortunately there is nothing in the law or any employment legislation that says your employers are not allowed to phone you.\nsome one mentioned harrasment but your employers would say they where asking about your health and they have a right to know how long you will be absent for,which again legally they can do and also inquire as to whether you have a sick note.\nsorry i could not be of more help\nmike

So, let me get this right, you are implying that police enforcing narcotics laws is "harassment"?  Just by what I have read, you sound as if your a drug dealer.  If you don't like being "harassed" then don't sling dope on the street.

There is nothing legally preventing it unless he has serious driving related offensed (DWI, Fleeing police, Criminal vehicular Operation, etc).  It really depends company to company.  Wouldn't hurt to start calling around now so you can find something.

In most states, you would be considered an "at will" employee.  This means that your employer could terminate you at anytime for almost any reason.  Although there are state and federal laws that protect persons from being fired for specific illegal reasons (i.e. race, religion, etc.), I have never heard of a law that protects someone with tattoos.\n\nOf course, law vary by state and it is possibly that a law in you state will protect.  Howver, the chances are remote.    You have receive a number answers that you questionable or just plain wrong.  I would see an employment law attorney in your area for more information.

I unfortunately have to answer phones and deal with the public coming into my office and I've noticed that in general people are much more aggressive and abusive than they were say five years ago.  It does ruin my day when someone is abusive to me - just for answering the phone to them! - and I can tell you I certainly do not go out of my way to help these people - I will however if you are civil while you speak to me.  Usually as well people can abusive towards me and when they speak to for example a solicitor (I'm just the secretary!!!) they aren't abusive to them - that annoys me - there is no need for it and it really is so disrespectful.

Do you have a Workers Rights Office in your area. They should be able to help you with all your questions and concerns regarding hostile work environment.

Yes.  It depends on the charge and your location.  Go to a search engine and type in the name of your state, then 'state judiciary home page' and hit 'search'.  It should pull up the home page with the laws for your state.  You can look at the laws regarding abuse, sentencing, etc.  If someone is being abused, you need to talk to them and help them find the strength to leave themselves.  Otherwise they'll just go back because that's what they know, that's what's safe.  I've been there.  Be there for them.  Talk to them.  There are also restraining orders, which can be taken out at your local court house.  They're very cheap and affordable.  The police are also more than happy to put a trespassing warrant on your property for you, so if somebody walks onto your lawn, you can simply phone and have them removed without dirtying your hands.  Good luck.
