There are different legal standards depending on the position of the harasser. If the harasser is a co-worker, then for employer to be liable it will need to be proven the employer knew or should have known about the harassing conduct but failed to take any corrective action. The knowledge for the employer needs to be at the manager or supervisor level. If the harasser is a supervisor or manager (it does not have to be your direct supervisor or manager), then there is strict liability to the company. This means that for the employer to be liable for the harassment it just has to be proven the harassment occurred and the victim was damaged by the harassment. However, every case is different and it is important you contact us and let us know what is happening to you.
