This may be due to several reasons such as persistent lateness or tardiness, taking excessive sick leave and repeated absences. Long-term stress or traumatic events at work can affect the physical as well as physiological health of the worker. An employer has a duty to ensure that the environment at the workplace is safe and conducive, free from threats, intimidation and violence. Considering the above, this article discusses the employer's liability for employee's psychological disturbance arising from occupational or workplace stress and harassment.
