Unions warn employers to take action as new sexual harassment at work laws kick in
UNIONS have put employers “on notice” to reform their shop floors as new laws aimed at eradicating sexual harassment in the workplace come into force in Britain today.
The Worker Protection (Amendment of Equality Act 2010) Act introduces a legal duty for employers to “take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment.”
The legislation includes sexual harassment by third parties such as an employer’s customers, including shoppers sexually harassing shopworkers.
