Employer Questions:

Q: What should I do when an employee reported that sexual harassment had occurred?

A: First consulting an attoney helps you navigate through any potential pitfalls specific to your situation that may arise. Do not simply ignore the complaint and allow the alleged harassment from continuing. This could cause you, the employer, to be liable for, at the very least, ratifying the conduct.

This will encourage others who have similar problems to report the issues to you rather than an outside agency. Explain the individual's options such as a formal investigations and reporting. The complaining employee should be informed of resources such as counseling that may be available to him or her. Make he/she aware that retaliation against against him/her will not be tolerated and will be subject to discipline. Finally, explain to him or her that his or her privacy will be respected but do not guarantee complete confidentiality.
