One myth about workplace bullying is that it is not illegal. This is a problem for bullied employees, particularly those whose experiences fall outside the protection of anti-discrimination legislation, which apply only to discrimination on six specific grounds. Beyond these, there isn't an obvious course for legal redress open to people bullied for reasons other than their race, gender, age, religious belief, sexual orientation or disability. Personal injury claims require proof of a personal injury, and they cannot be pursued in the employment tribunal, which can make them more complex and expensive to bring.
