All employers, regardless of the number of employees, are covered by
the harassment section of the FEHA. Employers are generally liable for
harassment by their supervisors or agents. Harassers, including both
supervisory and non-supervisory personnel, may be held personally
liable for harassing an employee or coworker or for aiding and abetting
harassment. Additionally, the law requires employers to take “all reasonable steps to prevent harassment from occurring.”
If an employer has failed to take such preventive measures, that
employer can be held liable for the harassment. A victim may be
entitled to damages, even though no employment opportunity has been
denied and there is no actual loss of pay or benefits. This poster is
not to be used in place of a sexual harassment prevention policy, which
all employers are required to have.
