We have seen examples, through the media, of high-profile cases of sexual harassment (not
sexual assault) that allegedly occurred ten or more years before. Describe the requirements
for bringing sexual harassment in employment action. Make sure to include the statues of
limitations and the minimum number of employees necessary to file a claim under the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Should the statute of limitations be
expanded? Why or why not?
The requirements for bringing sexual harassment in employment action is. Unwelcome sexual
advances, request for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.
Sexual harassment doesn’t appear in the text of Title VII, but courts held employer may be liable.
The statute of limitations and minimum number of employees necessary to file a claim under
EEOC is. 15 or more employees and 180 days from the day the discrimination took place. 180
days deadline is extended to 300 calendar days if state or local agency enforces laws that
prohibits employment discrimination on some basis. I do think the statute of limitation should be
expanded. Why is because each sexual harassment case is different. Some are not time
consuming and can be completed well within the 180 days while others can be complicated and
take longer. Especially when taken seriously and done correctly.
