The term ‘bossing’ is not mentioned or defined in any legislation related to bullying, nor does it appear anywhere in the PSC’s guide for agencies on the Prevention of Workplace Bullying in the WA Public Sector.
(1) (a)-(e) Nil (2) (a)-(b) Not applicable (3) Central has a Grievance Policy and the ‘Solve it’ Procedure to manage bullying claims. Should a claim for bullying be substantiated it is then managed under the Institute’s Discipline Policy.
