Not enough information has been furnished to answer your question. You probably should speak in private with an employment attorney.

Not only are you entitled to the two days of compensation, but there are many other issues involved, including the issue of pressing criminal charges against the individual who assaulted you. Contact an experienced employment lawyer immediately to review your situation. Many of us will provide a free consultation.

I trust you have contacted the police? After that, I would suggest that you contact an employment law attorney to discuss the situation in detail.

I am sorry to hear that you were sexually assaulted at work. You should contact a plaintiff’s employment lawyer immediately to go over all the facts in detail. For example, if you were assaulted by another employee (and again depending on the facts), you may have a sexual harassment case against your employer. Also, you might have a workers’ compensation case. If the despicable act was committed by a non-employee, an attorney can look into whether or not your employer was negligent. Many attorneys will offer a free consultation in your circumstances!
