4 Overview-Why talk about sexual harassment? It affects employers of all types and sizes - Formal complaints are on the rise Recent Supreme Court decisions and EEOC Guidelines make it clear that employers need to go beyond simply having an antiharassment policy. Employers must also provide training to ensure every employee understands the organization's harassment policy. Employers need to be able to show employees know what sexual harassment is and what to do about harassment if they see it happening to them or anyone else. 4
5 Overview-Why talk about sexual harassment? Managers and supervisors must be aware of management's responsibility to control harassment. They need to know how to prevent sexual and other forms of workplace harassment and what steps to take if harassment claims are made. New developments in sexual harassment laws have place increasing pressure on employers to take proactive approaches to ensure the workplaces is free of harassment. Supreme Court decisions (such as Faragher v. City of Boca Raton) make it clear that sexual training is expected in the workplace. 5

10 What is sexual harassment? Title VII Title VII prohibits discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin The courts have interpreted discrimination based on sex to include sexual harassment Conduct of a sexual nature in the workplace Includes any unwelcome: Sexual advances Requests for sexual favors Verbal and physical conduct of a sexual nature Display of sexually explicit or suggestive materials An employer may set higher standards of conduct for its employees that the law requires. 10
11 Who can commit sexual harassment? Supervisors Subordinates Co-workers Clients/customers Teachers Students Same-sex 11
12 Who can experience sexual harassment? Direct targets of harassment Bystanders/witnesses to harassment 12
13 How can sexual harassment occur? The specific forms of harassment Quid Pro Quo Consists of: Something for something Usually occurs within the context of a supervisoremployee relationship Hostile Work Environment Consists of: Severe and pervasive conduct Unreasonable interference with an individual s job performance Offensive, intimidating, hostile work environment Can be created by anyone in the workplace 13
14 The specific forms of harassment Hostile Work Environment Considerations: How frequent is the conduct? How severe is the conduct? Is the conduct physically threatening, humiliating, or merely an offensive utterance? Does the conduct unreasonably interfere with an individual s work performance? 14
15 When is an employer liable? Quid Pro Quo Liability is automatic Hostile Work Environment - Supervisors - Tangible employment action vs. - No action - Non-supervisors An employee who consents to a supervisor s sexual advances can state a claim for sexual harassment. 15
16 What isn t sexual harassment? The stray remark The overly sensitive employee Consensual relationships 16
17 The objectives of a workplace sexual harassment policy To provide a uniform statement of expectations To protect employee rights Foster respect for all parties Respect confidentiality Prohibit retaliation To promote compliance and prevention Management and employee responsibilities 17

20 Follow the FACTS A Address incidents of sexual harassment immediately Employee must report Management must respond 20
21 Follow the FACTS C Cooperate Full cooperation of all parties is expected and required 21
22 Follow the FACTS T Thorough investigation Documentation of complaints Employee interviews Signed statements 22
23 Follow the FACTS S Satisfactory resolution Swift response and resolution Objective review of the facts Fair and appropriate response 23
24 Final thoughts Important points to remember Same-sex harassment violates the law. An employee may consent to a supervisor s sexual advances but still consider the behavior to be unwelcome. No only can an employer set higher standards, it should. In some states, supervisors and managers can be held personally liable for conduct that violates Title VII and/or state law. In addition, managers and supervisors can also be held liable if their conduct is found to be a common law tort, such as assault or battery. Once an employer has been made aware of conduct that may constitute sexual harassment, it must investigate and promptly take appropriate action. An employer s inaction means tacit approval. 24
