HRMN 408 week 3 discussionTopic 11. Sexual harassment is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it is aform of sex discrimination (EEOC, n.d.). Presently, there is no federal law that specificallyprotects employees in public workplaces from anti-gay harassment however, the U.S. SupremeCourt has held that under Title VII same-sex sexual harassment is illegal and does not need to bemotivated by sexual desire (Barreiro, n.d.; eHow, 2009). The supervisor needs to be advised thatsexual harassment is an equal opportunity offense, it is illegal, and sexual harassment hasoccurred in the situation he described.2. The employee has complained to his immediate supervisor and can continue to go up the chainof command documenting everything along the way (NOLO, n.d.). If employer does not takeaction to remedy the situation, the employee has a right to sue. According to what I have beenreading Virginia falls in line with Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's. If filing acomplaint must be filed within 180 days of the alleged discrimination. Employees can file acomplaint with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. A complaint must be filedwithin 300 days of the alleged discrimination.3. No, the supervisor cannot tell the employee to live with this. The harasser is creating a workenvironment that is offensive with his verbal comments that are sexual in nature and display ofpictures (EEOC, n.d.). This is illegal and should not be tolerated by the supervisor or employer.The employer will be liable if the supervisor does nothing to address or stop the harassment(Guerin)
