Employers liable for Employee’s Stress
John Walker successfully sued his employers,
Northumberland County Council, claiming that he had suffered a nervous
breakdown as a result of the pressures of work. The Courts accepted
that employers have a duty which extends not only to their employees’
physical health but also their mental health.Scores of similar cases
are currently being prepared on behalf of employees with stress-related
problems.
Stress is a serious problem in the UK workplace
and every employer has a duty of care towards it's employees.
Compensation for stress related problems
is very common and is recgonised in law as suffering.
You may be able to pursue a claim for compensation
even if you lost your job as a result.
