韩国立法禁止职场欺凌包括让员工跑腿泡咖啡、向员工劝酒等

　　South Korea on Tuesday introduced a new workplace anti-bullying law to tackle workplace harassment with penalties including fines and imprisonment. According to Yonhap News, the new law defines workplace harassment as acts that lead to physical or mental suffering or worsening of the working environment by employers or workers who abuse their power or status. Examples include forcing someone to drink, smoke, or attend a company dinner, verbal abuse, or embarrassing colleagues in front of others. Employers are required to immediately conduct an investigation and take action once such a case is reported. They are also prohibited from taking any measures against victims or those who report the conduct. Otherwise, they could face up to three years in jail and a fine of up to about 25,400 U.S. dollars. A 2017 study found colleagues and work superiors have bullied about 70 percent of employees in the country.

　　据韩国KBS新闻16日报道，《禁止职场欺凌法》明文规定，用人单位或员工利用其在公司内的地位或关系，超出工作范畴，给予其他员工身体、精神和情绪上的痛苦或导致工作环境恶化的行为属欺凌行为。
