Pennsylvania State Police v. Suders
Employers On Alert!
On June 14, 2004, the United States Supreme Court decided a sexual harassment case that has consequences for nearly every employer, regardless of industry. <br/>What the Supreme Court did in <i>Pennsylvania State Police v. Suders</i>, however, was to unequivocally establish that Title VII applies when employees are forced to quit for unlawful reasons (constructive discharges) and that the degree of a supervisor's involvement in a hostile environment may be all that stands between strict liability and a trial over whether the employer had effective policies and procedures to address harassment.
