AG Memo Policy Liability Action for Victims Action for Managers

Liability

In addition to the agency's liability, individual managers, supervisors, and employees may be sued and held personally liable for their own conduct. Suits filed under Title VII, as well as civil and criminal law, have recently been successful against individual supervisors and employees.

The Department of Justice desires to protect all employees from harassment. Prompt and effective disciplinary action will result if harassment occurs. The personal conduct of managers and supervisors must be such that they are not vulnerable to claims of harassment. Managers and supervisors must ensure that their workplace is free from harassing behavior and must ensure that employees are not subject to retaliation.
