Personal Liability

By following our policy, you not only protect the organization, but you may also protect yourself.

Some courts have held that supervisors are personally liable when they fail to act on a complaint of sexual harassment. In other words, both the supervisor and the organization can be ordered to pay monetary damages.

Therefore, from a personal standpoint, it is important that you follow our sexual harassment procedures to protect yourself from that type of risk.
