Description

This casebook examines key US Court of Appeals decisions addressing workplace sexual harassment claims. The landmark cases of Faragher v. City of Boca Raton and Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth established standards for when an employee may hold their employer liable for harassment by a supervisor.

The Supreme Court has also clarified the concept of a "tangible employment action", which can result in strict liability for the employer if the harassment leads to such a consequence. However, if no tangible action occurs, employers can assert the Faragher-Ellerth affirmative defense, requiring them to demonstrate reasonable care and prompt corrective measures.

This book provides an in-depth analysis of these complex issues, offering valuable insights into the laws surrounding workplace sexual harassment.
