A workplace misdemeanor is a tort committed in the workplace that can result in a lawsuit being filed by an employee against an employer. Workplace torts are those that cannot be categorized as wrongful termination, sexual harassment, and discrimination. Workplace torts are actions by an employer that fall outside the scope of workers’ compensation coverage but are subject to Employment Practices Liability (EPL) policies. Examples of wrongdoing in the workplace include constructive dismissal, wrongful demotion, retaliation, misrepresentation, and slander.
