Abstract

Workplace bullying is often associated with negative acts such as harassment, discrimination and victimisation,1 which is the reason that legal certainty is required, for protection against such conduct. Consequently, the legislation under scrutiny includes the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 (‘OHSA’), Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (‘LRA’), Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 (‘EEA’), Protection from Harassment Act 17 of 2011 (‘PHA’), Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act 4 of 2000 (‘PEPUDA’) and other statutes. Research shows that employees experience workplace bullying in South Africa (‘SA’).
