EEOC’s New “Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace” Hits Hot-Button Issues
The EEOC has released long-awaited Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace, No. 915.064 (Apr. 29, 2024) (the “Guidance"). The Guidance addresses a number of timely issues and should be of great interest and practical use for employers, as it sets out the EEOC’s position on such questions as the tension between pronoun usage and religious practice; abortion in the context of sex harassment; and social media as the basis for a harassment claim. This update is the first of its kind in 30 years, and largely tracks the proposed guidance that the EEOC issued in October of 2023.
