Sexual Harassment in Employment Law: 1999 Cumulative Supplement

1999 update to Sexual Harassment in Employment Law, published by BNA Books.

Chapters in the main edition on quid pro quo and hostile environment harassment have been replaced in the 1999 Cumulative Supplement by a groundbreaking analysis reflecting the new model of employer liability now being used by courts following the Supreme Court’s 1998 decisions on sexual harassment in Faragher, Ellerth, and Oncale. The supplement also describes how lower courts have applied the Court’s new criteria for determining employer liability.

Developments in other areas addressed in the 1999 Cumulative Supplement include admissibility of evidence, the enforceability of mandatory arbitration agreements, the interplay of harassment law and constitutionally protected freedom of speech, the liability and privilege issues raised in the investigation of harassment claims, the wrongful termination claims of alleged harassers, and the connections between sexual harassment and harassment that is based on other protected statuses. The supplement also contains new appendixes including the latest Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines on workplace harassment and model anti-harassment policies.
