Strategy Number 3 - Investigate Sexual Harassment Complaints Promptly
Under federal and state law, employers are required to investigate harassment, discrimination and retaliation complaints. Employers can avoid liability for sexual harassment if the employer can show it took reasonable steps to prevent the harassment and promptly correct the sexual harassment in the workplace, and the employee did not take advantage of employer’s measures to address harassment.
Failure to fully investigate puts you at risk. Consult a labor and employment counsel before deciding to not investigate.
