Unbeknownst to me, my butler Anthony has been aggressivly persueing my maid Maria. Which rather suprised me. I thought he was gay. I always trusted his selection of attire due to that misconception.
Anyway, she has filed suit against me because now, because of Anthony, she has realized that she is gay herself. I don't understand it either.
I don't have any problem with her conversion. It's not like I'm going to fire her. So why are there any damages?

Steps You Can Take to Avoid Sexual Harassment Lawsuits
1.) If you don't have a sexual harassment/discrimination policy, make one up, fast! Your policy should communicate that you are taking a "zero tolerance" approach toward sexual harassment and/or other non-pleasant sexual experiences. Have straight attorney review it, and make sure it is distributed to Anthony and Maria in memo form. Have them sign it to acknowledged that they received and read the policy. The policy should also be verbally communicated and posted in a conspicuous place. Including the green house . If Maria and Anthony's primary language is not English, have your sexual experience harassment/ policy translated or hire an interpreter. Ensure that he reads and understands the policy as well.
Conduct sexual experience, harassment training. This can be done comprised of reading material watching erotica videos / Provide (unbuttered ) Popcorn.
This may lead to your feeling uncomfortable, and could lead to the creation of an environment where sexual excitement could develop leaving you in an uncompromising position. .You should also be directed to always inform upper hand management of any sexual harassment complaints or dissatisfaction's in your work environment. You should never promise confidentiality with Anthony or Maria when the information relates to sexual harassment and pleasure

I would think that the only way she can have a lawsuit against you is if she can prove that she gave you notice of his advances and you did not take any actions to correct the situation.
If this is the first you have heard about it she needs to give you time to deal with the situation. Counsel him about his behaviour and the such.
If you were notified and did not take action, then yes you would be liable.
And you have a butler and a maid, why did you not hire a married couple? It would have avoided this situation.

You do have a responsibility as an employer to provide a safe and fair working environment. If she had complained to you about him and or you knew about this and did nothing to resolve the issue, then I think there could be some liability there. The way this country is I am sure she has the right to sue you over this, but she is going to have to prove you knew about it and did nothing. She has a responsibility to inform you of the issue.

Very uncertain you could desire to effectively carry the corporation to blame (and confident, i'm completely attentive to the doctrine of respondeat greater suitable - this is a fave on the bar examination). the situation you face is that the worker's danger became into no longer a factor of the overall performance of her activity duties. the common rule is that an corporation isn't to blame for the intentional torts of an worker till the tort is a factor of the worker's activity. needless to say, the worker right here became into no longer employed to threaten consumers with violence or loss of life. The corporation on the instant remedied the region by potential of firing the guy as quickly because of the fact the possibility grew to grow to be common to administration. Now, in case you could desire to tutor that she had a history of threatening consumers, you would be waiting to get someplace, yet I also have a stressful time believing that they enable this circulate on in the event that they fired her ideal after she did it to you. so long tale short, no, i do no longer think you have a case and its no longer one i could take have been you to stroll into my workplace. Oh, and of direction which you do have a lawsuit against the former worker for intentional infliction of emotional misery, and so on.

Its got nothing to do with you as an employer unless you hired Anthony to sleep with her.
Anything they did together was as consenting adults.
Thats if this question is even real. You live one crazy life if it is.

Neither of them brought the problem to you before, they have nothing to sue you for. They can take you to court but they will not get anything. It is an issue between them.
