Class Details:
The three hour class will explore the legal framework for sexual harassment claims, including the requirements that the conduct be “unwelcome,” “because of sex,” and “severe or pervasive.” Ms. Bess and her co-presenters will examine the circumstances under which an employer will be vicariously liable for the actions or omissions of its managers and how employers can satisfy the legal requirements for an affirmative defense. Additionally, they will discuss the legal and practical requirements for a prompt and thorough investigation, as well as some thorny investigation issues, including selecting the appropriate investigator, dealing with attorney-client privilege issues, and protecting the confidentiality of the investigation.
