Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is a step-by-step guide for victims of sexual harassment in the workplace in Ireland. It contains all necessary and relevant information for employees to ensure that their right not to be sexually harassed in the workplace is vindicated by their employer, and for employers to ensure that they are satisfying their legal obligation to protect all employees from sexual harassment by ensuring that the workplace is a safe environment. Every employer in Ireland is responsible for any sexual harassment that an employee is subjected to. Thus, every employer is obliged by law to have policies, procedures and training in place which are expressly dedicated to protecting employees from sexual harassment in three fundamental ways. Firstly and most importantly, they must be committed to preventing sexual harassment from occurring in the first place. Secondly, employers must act to reverse the effect(s) of sexual harassment on the victim. Lastly, they must act to prevent the sexual harassment from reoccurring. If an employer fails in any of these obligations and a complaint of sexual harassment is not dealt with properly or taken seriously, a complaint can be made to a public body named the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), which will deal with the complaint independently of the company or organization. The WRC was established in 2015 to promote, improve and maintain positive workplace relations. The WRC also ensures and encourages compliance with industrial relation laws in Ireland. When a claim is made to the WRC about an employer's response to a complaint of sexual harassment, the objective is to resolve the inadequacy of an employer's action or inaction. This is a civil procedure which is free of charge and is totally independent of the criminal justice system. The guide contains information about victimization, which is also illegal in Ireland. Victimization in this context is when an employee is treated negatively due to the fact that they have made a complaint in work. If an employee is victimized because they made a complaint of sexual harassment to their employer, they may be entitled to compensation. Compensation can be granted by the WRC for both victimization and for an employer's insufficient response/ failure to satisfy their legal obligations in relation to a complaint of sexual harassment. The guide is divided into three parts, the first part containing essential information about what your rights are and how your employer is expected to treat you under the law. The second part will guide you through both informal and formal methods of complaining and goes through, in detail, how each complaint procedure works. The last part is an appendix of sources for advice and emotional support. This guide contains succinct and detailed information which is based on thorough research of Irish law.

Download or read book Women and Sexual Harassment written by Robert C Berring and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a valuable guide that saves researchers investigating sexual harassment in the workplace enormous amounts of time and money. Focusing on the hostile environment claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Women and Sexual Harassment is a complete resource tool. In one easy-to-use volume, it provides a detailed background and history of the hostile environment claim as well as an extensive guide on how to use and where to find the best resources available on this topic. Unlike some legal books, Chan’s book does not require cover-to-cover reading to access pertinent information. Anyone, whether they are interested in the specifics of the hostile environment claim or sexual harassment in general, will be able to locate the information they’re looking for with the help of this handy guide. It saves enormous amounts of time, effort, and money for researchers by providing extensive listings and evaluations of statutes, cases, agency decisions, law review articles, annotations, and books containing information on this subject. Readers can use the book to get a better understanding of the hostile environment claim or use it like a dictionary to pinpoint the specific resources that will be most useful to their area of research. Women and Sexual Harassment is logically divided into five complete parts to make it easy to use: Part 1: Clearly explains how to best use the book to access specific information. Part 2: Describes the history and present state of the hostile environment claim in a manner that is to the point, yet is more thorough than descriptions of the claim found in articles, cases, or other sources. Part 3: Research guide--Directs researchers to the best sources for information, categorized by type and area. Includes tips that will save hours in the library and will help researchers find the most up-to-the-minute articles and cases. Part 4: Bibliography of primary legal sources--Covers statutes, regulations, and case law on the hostile environment claim and sexual harassment. Part 5: Bibliography of secondary sources--Includes books, articles, surveys, and legislative history. The annotated bibliography, broken down by type of source and type of information, not only points researchers in the right direction but also steers them away from sources that seem valuable from their title, but are in fact not worthwhile. The insightful written analysis of the hostile environment claim alone provides researchers unfamiliar with the subject with a clearly written history and definition of the claim, its key elements, employer liability, statute of limitations, remedies, considerations of discovery and evidence, and related claims. Women and Sexual Harassment is an invaluable guide for all types of researchers including victims of sexual harassment considering filing a hostile environment claim, scholars interested in women’s issues, attorneys unfamiliar with this area, employers interested in limiting their liability by taking steps to prevent sexual harassment in their workplaces, and law students in any level of courses related to sex discrimination or sexual harassment.
