Case Study
You are the Manager of Human
Resources for a Fortune 100 Company. A female employee approaches you, very
upset and tells you that her manager, also a woman has told her that she if she
does not enter into a sexual relationship with her that she will not receive
any salary increase for the next year. She also tells you that her manager has
sexually explicit photographs which she both leaves on her desk and at times
shows to her. She tells you that she believes she is being sexually harassed.
She is scared and wants you to take immediate action. If what the employee
tells you is true, is it a violation of Title VII? Do you need any more information
to answer this question? If so, what information do you need? How would you go
about investigating these allegations?
