Workplace stress often results in high dissatisfaction among employees in terms of job mobility, burnout, less effective interpersonal relations at work and unsatisfactory work performance. This may be due to several reasons such as persistent lateness or tardiness, taking excessive sick leave and repeated absences. Long-term stress or traumatic events at work can affect the physical as well as physiological health of the worker. An employer has a duty to ensure that the environment at the workplace is safe and conducive, free from threats, intimidation and violence. Considering the above, this article discusses the employer's liability for employee's psychological disturbance arising from occupational or workplace stress and harassment. The discussion will focus primarily on occupational stress arising from bullying, harassment and reprehensible or highhanded manner of a dismissal with particular reference to the law and practice in Malaysia.
