Harassment compensation

A woman forced to resign from her job after suffering months of harassment by a colleague has won more than £30,000 compensation. However, she will receive just £4,000 as the company has since gone into liquidation. She was joint manager of a care home for adults with special needs. She was forced to resign after her colleague, the trust accountant, began an eight-month campaign of threats and allegations, during which she saw her duties reduced. She was accused of amending her contract to achieve favourable terms and was threatened with being sacked for an issue she had originally highlighted.
