Section 4 - Federal EEOC Laws - Part 1 of 3

In addition to the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission laws, states and local communities may have even more stringent laws against harassment and discrimination. You and your employees must know all laws affecting your company and community. The EEOC enforces laws under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which make sexual harassment as a form of discrimination illegal. Employers must use reasonable care to prevent it from occurring and to promptly correct harassment that has occurred. Accordingly, we have zero tolerance for sexual harassment. Harassment is extremely harmful to both the employer and the employee.
