As it results from the provisions of the Labor Code, it is the employer’s duty to prevent mobbing. This does not mean that he is always responsible when mobbing in the workplace takes place (it is worth noting that this does not apply to the responsibility of the mobber himself). If the plant has properly organized and effective methods of responding to reported mobbing situations, the employer has nothing to fear. It is crucial, however, that he try to authentically and honestly investigate each reported violation of law, and if such a situation is found – draw real consequences for the perpetrators.
This is also important for employees who want to claim compensation as a victim of mobbing – if a person in this situation does not give the employer a chance to respond to the reported violations of law, he will be able to easily avoid liability.
