Can anyone tell me what the legal implications are if you find out that one of your management team forced an employee to claim workers compensation against their will? The employee is very easily bullied and is really not happy about the way things have happened.
We do have this particular manager involved in a bullying investigation currently as she has claimed that she is the one being bullied by several other staff and we are using an external
HR provider to do this. So far the results have been that she is most definitely the one doing the bullying and there is documented evidence to back these claims.
The main question I have is what the legal implications are of her pushing the employee into a workers compensation claim?
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks
