which is what I said in the beginning. It is AGAINST the law for employer to touch employee in any way. I was just correcting a couple of people as they thought it's sexual harassment because it's usually between opposite sex or in inappropriate sexual behavior by both parties (regardless of gender).
IronQueen should step up and address this issue to her manager that the law prohibits employer from touching the employee. If the manager laughed at her or ignored her.... then IronQueen should file a complaint or notify the manager's supervisor. It's best to have a witness around to verify IronQueen's complaint/notification to her manager because that way - filing the complaint with corroborating witness against manager would be lot easier for her and the action will be taken immediately.
