Dont know if this should be in the legal section or here, but i have a general question following a recent incident as follows:
One day when i was out of the office a 'client' of mine called and spoke to a (foreign) employee who told him I was not in at the moment. He then became VERY annoyed and commenced to give out to the employee and to issue instructions to her in a bad tempered manner. The employee had no idea who he was or what he was talking about, and found it difficult to follow his presumably exicited rant. She asked him to please repeat what he had just said, at which point he really exploded and told her that she should 'learn english' if she wanted to work in this country, and threw in a few other racist and generally insulting remarks before hanging up.
The employee was rather shaken, and when I was informed of the matter I phoned the guy up, told his voicemail what I thought of his behaviour, and considered that the end of it.
It recently occured to me however that my employee may have some cause for complaint against either the caller or myself. Can anyone point me in the direction of the relevant legislation regading and issue such as this (if it is an issue at all)?
