Mobbing in the workplace in legislation and case-law

Trpinčenje na delovnem mestu ni vsako nedopustno ali negativno ravnanje delodajalca, sodelavca ali podrejenega, ampak gre za objektivizirano obliko moralno in etično spornega ter očitno negativnega ravnanja. Odločilno v takih primerih je, kako bi ravnanje videla in ga ocenila povprečna oseba, tako da različna karakteristično pogojena ravnanja ali vsake reakcije posameznikov v določenih okoliščinah ne moremo pripisati delodajalcu. V nalogi sem celovito predstavila trpinčenje na delovnem mestu, pri tem pa sem se osredotočila predvsem na njegove pravne vidike, kot so razvoj do zakonske materije, opredelitev in razmejitev od drugih oblik kršitev. Po natančnejši pravni podlagi sledi psihosocialni pregled različnih vrst, faz in vzroke trpinčenja na delovnem mestu, ker se mi zdi to bistveno za celostno razumevanje zadevnega problema, nadalje pa sem natančneje opisala pravne ukrepe preko opozorila do zahteve za sodno varstvo in naloge pristojnih oseb oziroma organov. V drugem delu sem predstavila bistveno stališče slovenske sodne prakse in nekatere tuje odločbe, saj gre za pravni termin, ki ga zapolnjujejo sodišča. Slednja so predvsem v smislu sistematičnosti in dolgotrajnosti oblikovala pogoj, da mora iti za nezakonita ravnanja vsaj na tedenski ravni v okviru najmanj polletnega obdobja.Mobbing in the workplace does not encompass all examples of unacceptable or negative treatment enacted by employer, colleague or subordinate, but presents an objectified form of morally or ethically controversial and evidently negative treatment. A decisive point in such cases is a way in which a treatment would be considered and estimated by an average person, what means that various characteristically caused actions or reactions of individuals in certain circumstances cannot be exclusively attributed to employer. In the master\u27s thesis I comprehensively presented mobbing in the workplace. Especially, I focused on its legal aspects, such as development of legal matter, definition and distinction from other kinds of violations. After detailed description of legal standing follows psychosocial review of various types, stages and reasons for mobbing in the workplace, because it seems crucial for a comprehensive understanding of this problem. Furthermore, I more thorough described legal measures, which range from admonition to request for judicial remedies, as well as duties of authorized persons and bodies. In the second part of the master\u27s thesis I provided essential standpoint of the Slovene case-law and some foreign court decisions, because mobbing is a legal term, which is interpreted by courts. The latter primarily in a sense of method and lastingness formed a condition, that mobbing refers to illegal actions which appear at least once a week in a period of at least half a year
