Questions to ask regarding violence in workplace

A question on the availability of prevention guide

One would ask the employer if there exists the workplace violence preventive guide. One would enquire what is contained in the prevention guide and if the firm did enough to prevent the occurrence of the incident (Beqiraj, 2019).

A question regarding the responsibility of an employee

The case involves an employee fired after defending self. One would then enquire from the employer regarding the existence of a right of defense for the aggrieved employee. One would try to enquire the factors determined to establish that one was defending self or was also engaging in violence.

A question on the availability of alternative disciplinary actions

One would also enquire from the employer the existence of lighter punishments. Firing ought to be a last resort in any situation. One could then determine if there is a policy providing lighter punishments other than being terminated from work (Beqiraj, 2019).

A question on rights after termination

After being terminated, one is concerned about the next action to take, especially a legal action. One would then enquire from the employer the most effective action to take. One would also enquire if there is room for one to take defense in self-protection rather than being permanently terminated.
