Wrongful Termination Hostile Work Environment Strict Liability Defense
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA party sought review regarding a determination that an employer was liable for wrongful termination stemming from allegations of discriminatory conduct by a supervisor, where the termination occurred shortly after the claimant reported the supervisor's actions. The court reasoned that the relevant statute imposes liability on the employer for unlawful harassment creating a hostile work environment, and that when an employer's authorized agent or supervisor engages in such conduct, the employer is held strictly liable unless it can establish an affirmative defense by showing it exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct the behavior and the employee unreasonably failed to utilize those preventive or corrective opportunities.
