New definition of mobbing. The regulations have come into effect

New regulations define mobbing as persistent harassment that can come from various sources, including supervisors and colleagues. The behaviors can be physical, verbal, or non-verbal, and the list of behaviors is now open-ended. Victims must still prove mobbing in court, unlike discrimination cases where the burden is on the employer. Employees can seek compensation for mobbing, with a minimum amount set at six times the minimum wage. The changes may lead to an increase in court cases related to mobbing, as the broader definition will help victims. Additionally, discrimination laws have been clarified, allowing for claims based on creating a hostile work environment. Employers have six months to implement anti-mobbing policies.
