ABOUT THE EVENT

On April 29, 2024, the EEOC released its first major update to workplace harassment enforcement guidance in 25 years. The guidance reflects new legal developments, including Supreme Court rulings extending anti-discrimination protections to LGBTQ workers. While not legally binding, it provides the EEOC’s interpretation of harassment standards and employer liability under federal EEO laws and replaces several prior guidance documents.

The EEOC emphasizes that workplace harassment goes beyond sexual harassment and includes conduct based on race, sex, religion, and other protected characteristics. Harassment remains a serious issue, accounting for over one-third of EEOC charges in recent years.

The guidance explains the three parts of a harassment claim:

Protected basis and causation
Impact on a term or condition of employment
Employer liability

Whether conduct is unlawful depends on the totality of the circumstances and whether it is linked to a protected characteristic.
