As an employer, you can be held strictly liable when a supervisor sexually harasses an employee. Where the harassment is between co-workers, you can be found liable where you knew of the problem and failed to properly handle it.Under California law, employers who regularly employ fifty or more employees are required to provide sexual harassment training and education to every supervisory employee every two years, and to each new supervisory employee within six months of their assumption of a supervisory position.
Prevention is the key to maintaining a workplace free of sexual harassment; please contact us if you are interested in having our office provide you with this mandatory training.
