It has been just over a decade since the Supreme Court decided Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, two seminal cases in the area of sexual harassment. Dewey authors Ernest Hadley and Eleanor Laws have teamed up to provide a thorough analysis of the EEOC’s case law in the area of sexual harassment, which has evolved significantly in recent years.
The authors begin with an overview covering the statutory history and early case law, the basic elements of tangible employment and hostile environment harassment claims, questions of employer liability, and timeliness of claims. The text covers all the substantive issues present in sexual harassment claims, such as the nature of the alleged harassing conduct, the frequency and duration of the conduct, and to whom the conduct is directed, and provides case law examples and analyses throughout.
Although the focus of this guide is upon sexual harassment, other bases for harassment such as race, religion and reprisal, are also discussed. Issues of employer liability, including tips for how an agency can safeguard itself and create an effective anti-harassment program in accordance with MD-715, are covered in depth.
Agency representatives, EEO managers, and supervisors will appreciate the guidance on structuring and maintaining an effective anti-harassment program. Complainants and their representatives will find this book an invaluable tool in litigating a sexual harassment case.
