Congress passed Title VII in 1964 prohibiting discrimination in the workplace due to race, color, gender, national origin, and religion. The addition of the word “gender,” or “sex,” was considered to be a joke and was thought to derail the controversial statute. With this said, Congress probably never envisioned that “sexual harassment” would be a source of contention in the courts. It took the Supreme Court until 1986 to confirm that sexual harassment was a form of discrimination on the basis of sex. More than 30 years since, we are seeing sexual harassment grabbing the headlines at an unprecedented rate. Sexual harassment claims are ending careers of many notable chief executive officers, entertainers, and journalists, such as Harvey Weinstein, Bill O’Reilly, Kevin Spacey, and Matt Lauer, just to name a few.
We are learning that sexual harassment occurs at all levels in the workplace and that it is still a huge problem. Now is the time for all employers to reassess their policies and procedures so that they are vigilant about sexual harassment compliance and about protecting their employees.
Course Objectives:
• Learning how harassment law has evolved since the passage of Title VII.
• Analyzing Supreme Court decisions and how they have been construed to cover those that might not otherwise be covered under Title VII.
• Analyzing lower court decisions of “who is the supervisor”?
• Understanding what is a tangible employment action?
• What should be in a harassment policy?
• How to conduct a proper investigation and how to document the investigation.
• Understanding how your company may be an employer even if you’re not signing the paycheck.
