| | While proof that an employer had promulgated an anti-harassment policy with a complaint procedure is not necessary in every instance as a matter of law, the need for a stated policy suitable to the employment circumstances may appropriately be addressed in any case when litigating the first element of the defense. | | | Vinson, 477 U.S. 57, 70-73 (1986), the Supreme Court held that an employer is not automatically liable for harassment by a supervisor in a hostile environment case, and that courts should look to traditional agency principles to determine liability. | | | Forklift Systems, 510 U.S. "Objective severity of harassment should be judged from the perspective of a reasonable person in the plaintiff's position, considering all the circumstances."

| | The harasser can also be held on charges of contempt of court for willingly disobeying an order of the court. | | | Harassment is extremely frustrating to deal with, and can be difficult to prove in court. | | | The process for this is called an "evidentiary hearing" where the petitioner and respondent both may tell the court their side of the story and give the court any evidence they may have such as letters, phone call documentation, pictures or the testimony of any witnesses. |

| | All of the tenants involved in the harassment complaint should meet and select a spokesperson who can present all of the documentation submitted in the complaint form and cover letter, on behalf of the tenants. | | | In cases of sexual assault or sexual harassment by the owner, superintendent, managing agent, etc. and whether or not the intent is to force the tenant out of the apartment, tenants should also file a complaint with the NYC Commission On Human Rights. | | | While the Attorney General's office will try to investigate any harassment charges, it is the tenants who must provide documentation for their claims. |

| | The complainant should be advised of the remedial action against the harasser, though the specific sanction imposed is generally not disclosed. | | | Far more pervasive and more evident in the courts is harassment based upon a "hostile work environment." According to the case law and the EEOC's interpretative regulations, a "hostile environment" is one that is so pervasive that it materially alters the terms and conditions of employment (29 C.F.R. § 1604.11(a)). | | | Many states (including California) require an employer to post a sexual harassment prevention notice advising employees of their right to a harassment-free workplace; this is different from, and over and above, an employer's obligation under Title VII to post a general discrimination prevention poster. |

| | Sexual Harassment |
| | Most sexual harassment claims are made under Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. | | | As the Supreme Court said in a June, 1998 decision, "Sexual harassment under Title VII presupposes intentional conduct." The prohibition of harassment on the basis of sex forbids only behavior so objectively offensive as to alter the "conditions" of the victim's employment. | | | That crucial requirement is intended to ensure that courts and juries do not mistake ordinary socializing in the workplace — such as flirtation or male-on-male horseplay — for discriminatory "conditions of employment". |
