When Employers Are Liable for Harassment by Coworkers, Clients, or Others In California, your right to a harassment-free workplace is protected under the Fair Employment and Housing Act—even if the harasser isn’t your supervisor. In this video, employment law attorney Neil Shouse breaks down how the law handles harassment by coworkers, clients, and other non-supervisors. If a supervisor harasses an employee, the employer is strictly liable. That means the company can be held responsible regardless of what steps it took to prevent the harassment. But when the harassment comes from a coworker, customer, or independent contractor, the employer is only liable if they were negligent—meaning they knew or should have known about the misconduct and failed to take immediate and effective action. Examples of negligence include a manager ignoring inappropriate jokes or failing to investigate reported behavior. Even when harassment comes from a customer, the employer still has a legal duty to protect the employee and cannot prioritize business over worker safety. Employees are encouraged to report harassment as soon as possible and to keep documentation of every incident and complaint. You have the right to speak up and to be protected from retaliation. If you’ve been harassed by someone at work and your employer didn’t act, you may be entitled to compensation. Call Shouse California Law Group today for a free consultation at (877) SUE-MY-BOSS.
