The restraining order process for workplace violence cases

Overview

The restraining order process for workplace violence cases

A workplace violence restraining order can provide protection right away. Once the employer turns in the request, a judge will decide quickly whether to grant temporary protection right away for the employees listed on the forms. The whole process can take a few weeks to months, depending on how complicated the case is. If the judge grants a long-term restraining order, it can last up to three years.
