Hello. A *friend* works in a school environment, but not for the school. She works for a not-for-profit company that provides counseling to children.
Two weeks ago, she was grabbed, pulled out of a room, and screamed at by a man in a very high up position. At first, her company said they would back her, and tell the school she would not return because it was not safe for their employees. The company then changed the letter to read the woman refused to return because of fear for her safety.
Today, the woman was informed that since she would not return to that school, they were dropping her to part-time, since that school accounted for nearly 50% of her hours. This, of course, means 50% pay and loss of FT benefits.
The man that assaulted her is still employed.
How can she be punished for being physically and verbally assaulted?
Any thoughts, help, etc?
