$250,000 Sexual Harassment Settlement

Our lawyers recently secured a $250,000 sexual harassment settlement.  Our client was sexually harassed by a co-worker.  The sexual harassment did not result in job loss.   Employers are required to take measures to prevent sexual harassment from taking place in the workplace.  The preventive measures include the publication of anti-harassment policies, the dissemination of the anti-harassment policies to their employees, and training employees on the policies.   Management failed to have the necessary policies in place to prevent the sex harassment. Further, management failed to conduct anti-harassment training.  These failures made it all too predictable that sexual harassment would occur in the workplace.
