Physical abuse in the workplace is any form of physical violence or harm inflicted upon an employee by another person in the workplace. This can include things like hitting, pushing, shoving, or even throwing objects. Physical abuse can also include the use of weapons or the threat of violence.
If you are the person who assaulted another employee in a violent incident at work, you could be looking at criminal charges in addition to any civil legal action that might take place. Your actions could also lead to your termination from the company, and you may be blacklisted from other employers in the future.
