    Default Re: Accused of Sexual Harassment

    I dont have the letter with me at the moment, but I know the letter was from her attorney. I know I haven't been sued yet but I would like to be prepared.

    I also read somewhere about the federal laws not applying to businesses with less than 15 employees, but I also read that it is only in some states, and that in California it does not matter how many employees you have. Is this true? Because if thats the case then we would be off the hook.

    Here is something I found online from equalrights.org (http://www.equalrights.org/publications/kyr/shwork.asp)

    "Federal Law

    The federal law prohibiting sexual harassment in the workplace is Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended.The law makes certain employers responsible for preventing and stopping sexual harassment that occurs on the job.

    Title VII applies to private and most public employers, labor organizations, employment agencies, and joint employer-union apprenticeship programs with 15 or more employees.

    California State Law

    The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibits sexual harassment in employment.FEHA applies to private public employers, employment agencies, labor organizations, state licensing boards, and state and local governments that have 1 or more employees.Unlike Title VII, FEHA provides protection against sexual harassment for persons who provide services pursuant to a contract."
