The phrase “an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure” applies when it comes to harassment in the workplace.

It is extremely important that in the event of discrimination or harassment, your anti-harassment policy indicates what key employees are responsible for handling discrimination or harassment complaints. In other words, your employees need to know who they are supposed to report the discrimination or harassment complaint too and what steps need to be taken to address same. In that regard, it is imperative that your key employees understand your anti-harassment policy and what they are required to do in the event they receive such a complaint. If you feel it is necessary, we are always available to provide seminars to get the process started.

Colombo & Colombo provides training and seminars on a variety of issues including discrimination, sexual harassment, FMLA and ADA. Furthermore, our attorneys are experienced in preparing and continually reviewing employee handbooks, employment applications, etc. to ensure compliance with applicable laws.

Even with up-to-date policies in place, we know that sexual harassment happens and when it does employers need advice and counsel from experienced attorneys.
