QUESTION
Can I have a person barred from contacting my employer for non-work related incidents?
Asked on Mar 01st, 2014 on Litigation - Washington
More details to this question:
I was at a fundraiser and wanted to bid on a silent auction item. A woman wanted the same thing and would not let me near the bid sheet or let me go after her (she was in front of me in line, after all). When I called her out on it, she became belligerent and wanted to pin the blame on me. I had forgotten my name tag was on, so she knew where I worked and emailed them a story about it. I was not given a copy of the email by my manager of allegations she mentioned. She also has called my manager directly telling him I flipped her off in passing at a restaurant. This is a mess and may cost me my job. What can I do?

Sounds like you should petition the court for an anti-harassment order.

You can sue her for slander.

You may have potential causes of action against this person for Intentional Interference with Contractual Relations, possible slander or defamation depending on what she is saying etc. Typically, in these situations, a cease and desist letter to the person from an attorney citing potential litigation for California causes of action will encourage their behavior to stop. If you do lose your job, you could have potential monetary claims against her where right now, she is being a nuisance.

Only if you have sufficient grounds so check out Wisconsin's anti-harassment law in Chapter 814 if you are in Wisconsin.

I know of no legal remedy available to you under GA Law.

Retain an attorney for cyber stalking. You can also get a restraining order, that way she cannot contact anyone at work.
