The woman, surnamed Zheng, from Hangzhou in Zhejiang province, eastern China, claims the slap by a male colleague, surnamed Lu, left her unable to work.
Zheng, who was working as a security guard at a metro station in Hangzhou at the time of the incident, told a local television station that she was slapped in June last year.
She said she was taking a nap leaning against a desk during an afternoon break when Lu slapped her on the back to wake her up.
