About this Event

Time: 1PM -2 PM ET

Duration: 60 Mins

Description

Join us for an insightful webinar as we explore the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) recently released and long-awaited “Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace.” This comprehensive guidance supersedes five prior EEOC documents issued between 1987 and 1999, reflecting recent case law, social changes, and technological advances.

The EEOC hasn't updated its harassment guidance for many years. During this time, a lot has changed. As a result, the EEOC recently issued updated guidance on preventing workplace harassment. There are several new laws addressed in the guidance. For example, does Title VII prohibit harassment on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation even when it does not explicitly mention those terms? Is it illegal to harass someone through text messages, memes, apps, or the Internet? Melissa Fleischer, Esq., an employment law expert with many years of experience, will address the numerous questions answered by the new EEOC guidance on workplace harassment.
