>(虐待なんかしてないモン、ちょっといじめてるだけだモン、

That's a good point. The translation should cover ijime, which
might not get across if what you are forbidding is too extreme.
In cases like this I like to expand the translation until it covers
everything you think it should.
Say something like
暴言、いじめや人格を否定するような表現、行動を禁止します。
About the 禁止, I think Chika made a good point about
making it strong enough. They want zero tolerance of
stuff that is really abusive.
Suppose someone does something really stupid. The boss
should be able "That was really a dumb thing to do." Which
might hurt some feelings. But it would be abusive to call the
person who did it stupid. That's why I felt like putting the 人格
part in. It's OK criticize the act, but not OK to deny the person.

> 虐待と見なされるような言動は禁じます。
I think that's getting very close. Good enough to turn in.
> What I'm not sure is 暴言. Do we need that?
I guess because in this context the abuse would be mainly verbal.
I would be happy with anything along that line, if it is in fact needed.

Not being an NSJ, I'm not sure that my understanding of 虐待 is comprehensive
<g>, but I would agree with Tom about what the context implies and think
that it would be better to include 暴言 than to leave it out.
Just my two cents.
