How do you handle incidents of sexual harassment in your workplace? Failure to handle sexual harassment claims correctly could lead to adverse awards against your business.
A new Code of Good Practice on the Prevention and Elimination of Harassment, came into effect on 18 March 2022. The Code, issued in terms of the Employment Equity Act (EEA), replaces the previous Code of Good Practice on Handling Sexual Harassment cases in the Workplace and gives a more detailed meaning to the prohibition in section 6(2) of the Act which simply states that harassment is a form of unfair discrimination if it is linked to any of the prohibited grounds for discrimination mentioned in section 6(1).
