So here's the deal, some guy (my colleauge) thought it would be a good idea to whack me across the face with some metal tongs tonight. Naturally he got sent home, and the incident occured after a minor disagreement which he escaleted by saying if I din't shut up he would 'floor me,' to which I responded "that will solve everything, hit me?"
Obviously this guy has no conception of sarcasm.
I work at a large UK chain of restuarants and basically I have no rights regarding sick pay etc. I have no specific contracted hours and I'm only contracted to "business needs" which basically means they can give me as little/much as they choose. Sick pay is not offered at all. I have a fairly large gash on my face and my aunties wedding this Friday I am pretty upset and it occured in front of customers!
So what I want to know is, where do I stand legally. I am supposed to be leaving this Sunday and moving to a new restaurant so I find it likely that it will be swept under the carpet when I go. I am tempted to stay however to see this through, however I feel as though he may be made out to be the victim. What should I do, Should I walk away from the company (not moving to the new restaurant)? A part of me thinks that I need to see this through as it should not be allowed to happen in a place where I am supposed to be safe, especially from memebers of staff where a mutal respect is required to work together.
Thoughts?
