Solicitors Workplace harassment

Workplace harassment, or bullying, occurs when someone’s conduct causes you to feel humiliated, offended, or intimidated at work. In the UK, harassment linked to a protected characteristic—such as age, disability, race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation—falls under the Equality Act 2010. Even if the behaviour doesn’t specifically target a protected characteristic, persistently offensive or intimidating conduct could still violate your employment rights or health and safety regulations.

What is considered workplace harassment under UK law?

Protected characteristic harassment: Unwanted behaviour related to age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage/civil partnership, pregnancy/maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
Creating a hostile environment: The behaviour must be severe enough that it violates your dignity or creates an intimidating, degrading, or offensive environment.
Bullying or general harassment: Even if the conduct isn’t linked to a protected characteristic, repeated bullying or intimidation might breach employment contracts or health and safety obligations.

If you’re experiencing harassment, consider documenting incidents and raising a grievance with your employer. If that fails, an employment solicitor can advise on the next steps.

How can a solicitor help me with a workplace harassment claim, and what are the costs?

A workplace harassment solicitor or an employment solicitor can:

Assess your case: Determine if the harassment falls under the Equality Act or other legal frameworks.
Guide you through internal processes: Help you file a formal grievance and ensure your employer follows the correct procedures.
Represent you in negotiations or tribunal: If needed, they’ll assist with ACAS Early Conciliation and represent you in an employment tribunal claim.

Costs vary based on complexity. Many solicitors charge £150 to £300 per hour, while some offer fixed fees for specific tasks (e.g., drafting tribunal documents). If you have a strong case, you may find a no win, no fee option. Before proceeding, ask about an initial consultation, which could be free or discounted, to discuss your likelihood of success and potential expenses.
