What is a Workplace Violence Restraining Order?

from Superior Court of California, County of Sacramento

Any employer whose employee has suffered unlawful violence or threat of violence from any individual that can be construed to be, or to have been, carried out at the workplace, may seek a restraining order through the court. The employer initiates the action with the filing of a “Petition of Employer for Injunction Prohibiting Violence or Threats of Violence Against Employee.” The initial order rendered is in the form of temporary restraining orders with a corresponding court hearing date, at which time a restraining order lasting up to three (3) years may be granted.
