ABSTRACT
The Work Harassment Law 1010 of 2006 protects against bullying, mobbing, and harassment. Harassment is defined as the persistent and demonstrable conduct taken against an employee by a supervisor or co-worker with the intent of causing the employee intimidation, fear, or inducing the employee to resign. Harassment includes conduct which offends or threatens an employee's dignity or sexual freedom. An employee may commence administrative or judicial labor actions for unlawful discrimination and harassment. A prevailing employee may be entitled to reinstatement in the cases of unlawful termination; granting of equal terms and conditions of employment; and monetary damages. Additionally, employers found liable for harassment can be fined pursuant to Colombian's Disciplinary Code. Article 2 references types of workplace bullying and harassment, which include: labor abuse as physical, psychological, and verbal abuse on the part of the employer. Different treatment based on race, gender, family or national origin, religious creed, and other factors not pertinent to employment is prohibited.
