Employment Law Update – Sexual Harassment

New legislation is due to come into force forcing employers to take a more proactive rather than a reactive approach to sexual harassment. The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act 2023 comes into force this October. Damages for harassment are unlimited. A successful tribunal claim for sexual harassment, under the new legislation, can attract an additional compensation uplift of up to 25%. This significantly increases the potential exposure to financial liability for businesses.
