Question

Consider a scenario where a claim of harassment surfaces, employers should only be concerned about their liability if they pursued one of the following actions: D
a. Fired the employee because of claims of harrasment
b. Promoted the employee despite claims of harassment
c. Hired the employee despite claims of harassment
d. None of the above. No tangible employee action is required for the employer to be liable.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Fired the employee because of claims of harrasment.

Explanation:

In case an employee has committed a fault and could be found liable for the actions incurred, usually the company that worker belongs to fires the employee. Firms take that decision to avoid any negative image towards the organization that could be reflected in a decrease in sales. However, firms must also be aware of what could be their liability if the employee is found guilty because there is a possibility the firm did not supervise that worker effectively and that is why the fault could take place.
