Workplace Harassment

Employers know that racial, gender or ethnic slurs can be the basis for an employee’s claim of a hostile work environment, discrimination and/or harassment. However, they may not realize that political, religious, or social commentary can also be the basis for workplace harassment. An employer’s liability for such workplace harassment can depend on the status of the harasser and the victim to each other.
