If a supervisor hits someone what are his or her rights? |
[Edit] |
Answer
If the employee did not hit the Supervisor first and that Supervisor hit the employee he/she can be sued! It's best to go to Labor Relations and form a complaint. This Supervisor could/should be fired. It doesn't matter if an employee is in the face of a Supervisor and a source of irritability to the Supervisor he/she has no right to hit that employee. The employee can be "written up" or even fired, but not hit! No one has the right to hit another person.
Seek out guideance from Labor Relations first. If you don't feel the rules and regulations are tough enough then it's time for a lawyer and press charges of assault!

Answer
When a person is struck without provocation (meaning they did not initiate the physical contact) it is battery, the person being an employee is irrelevant. It is a criminal act, and the person can be charged with a misdemeanor or felony depending on the mitigating factors. The person attacked can file criminal battery charges with the local authorities. And they can sue for any medical expense incurred. loss of wages, pain and suffering, and so forth.
