I think the best way to file against your supervisor is to file a physical harassment through your local police station aside from a written report to your company head.In this manner your supervisor would be given a chance to explain why he did that to your colleague.Then I'm sure your supervisor will be given a disciplinary action from your company head and of course a legal case on the court if it will not be settled.

This is a pretty difficult situation, Krishna... well, your friend is supposed to greet your supervisor as he enters his cabin to show some respect of authority.. but your friend's failure to greet him first because he was so busy and possibly didn't notice your supervisor getting inside his cabin is not a reason enough though to slap your friend on the face. He must be a freak and power hungry to do that just because your failed to greet him. He should have considered that your friend was busy doing a report and didn't notice him. Well, if he has been so physical to your friend without a reasonable reason, then your friend is just doing the right thing, letting the higher authority know what your supervisor has been doing to him and to other lower level employee coz that's one big abuse of power. I hope your friend can get justice.. Godbless!

Friend, Greeting is our own decision, it not a correct way to ask greet me. because if he has the respect either if he wants greet means he will greet when if is not interested to speak with him? and Employees are working only for doing work not for greeting every time and saying good morning, good evening, if suppose he also slap him means what he supervisor can do, am i right but mine only stopped him and i given a suggestion to complaint against him to higher authority. if he made the complaint in labor court the bloody supervisor will go for jail at least 6 months that is the act in our country, and no authority to any one to slap in any company. reply me soon pls. looking forward your response.

You have a point there, true it is somehow accustomed that the lower level employees would be the one to greet their superiors first..but it's not a rule though...I mean, they may or may not greet their superiors first..that basically depends on the employees..and the supervisors aren't authorized to hurt the employees just because of not greeting them.. yes, you may file a complaint to the higher authority if you wanted to teach your abusive supervisor a lesson.

How very unprofessional for your supervisor. He should be termination for doing physical violence and harm to another person. It is a complete no no in the work place. I suggest you also make a report to higher authority just to document the situation. Your report will serve as proof too whenever there would be an invetigation.
