If a manager open handly hits me, then hits be again after I asked them to stop, what should i do now?
Im a employee and the manager and I had a
mis communication. The manager then open
handly hit my shoulder and with force more
than 2 times. I then stepped away and ask her
not to hit me. She then laughed and said, this
is like a slap on the wrist and proceeded to hit
me two more times. I called my regional
manager HR. Where do I go from here? What
else do I need to do? Is this a lawsuit?

If you don't receive a satisfactory response from HR and/or your regional manager, you may want to file a complaint at a higher level in the company.
It is not worth filing a lawsuit for battery, which is the harmful or offensive touching of another person without consent or legal privilege.
