1998 Supreme Court Decisions

Employer Liability

Faragher v. City of Boca Raton and Burlington Industries v. Ellerth

Taken together these U.S. Supreme Court decisions hold employers responsible for their supervisors' sexually harassing behaviors in the workplace. They also hold employees responsible for reporting offensive behavior in accordance with the employer's policy and complaint procedure if the policy and procedures have been well publicized and fairly and consistently enforced by the employer.
