What must an employer do before sexual harasment claim in order to have affirmative defense to sexual harasment claim under Ellerth and Faragher cases
Way to report harasment
description of what harasment is
Statement that only the leader of the company can carry out tangible employment actions
A way to bypass harasser when reporting misconduct
Phone number for EEOC with instructions on how to file a charge
The correct answer is "Statement that only the leader of the company can carry out tangible employment actions"
Explanation: it has been stated by the law that if the sexual harassment of the supervisor resulted in tangible Employement action then supervisor will be held liable. So, in order to escape false charges and for the sake of private defense, an employer must clearly state that the tangible employment actions are taken by the leader and no employees can take a tangible employment action on their own. This will shift the case in the side of the employer and court may listen to him and see his proofs further. He will not be held liable and will be given a chance to prove himself not guilty
