What action can an employer take regarding a Civil No-Contact Order?

The action an employer can take regarding a Civil No-Contact Order is to apply on behalf of an employee who has been threatened. This option reflects the role of employers in protecting their employees from workplace violence and harassment. In situations where an employee is experiencing threats, employers may choose to intervene by seeking a no-contact order to help ensure the safety of the employee. This proactive step not only supports the affected employee but also helps to create a safer work environment for all staff.

In contrast, filing a lawsuit against the employee would not be applicable in the context of a no-contact order meant to protect the employee, and terminating the employee’s position would likely exacerbate the situation and could be considered retaliatory action. Offering legal representation for the employee is typically outside the responsibilities of the employer; while an employer can provide resources, they are not obligated to directly provide legal representation in such matters. Thus, applying for a no-contact order on behalf of the employee demonstrates a commitment to workplace safety and employee well-being.
