Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Tennessee

Re: What is immediate and reasonable action by employer

For more information about what is prompt and appropriate remedial action, you can visit my website, www.beckerlawfirm.net.

As a general matter, what you have described is prompt. However, appropriateness may be a different story. According to courts, appropriate remedial action is action which is reasonably calculated to end the harassing conduct. Usually, you expect it to completely separate the employees and to not harm the individual who made the complaint.

You wanted to know how long the employer has to resolve the issue. That depends on whether or not you get harassed again and whether or not you make complaint about being moved to a less-favorable shift. If you never bring it up, then they are in the clear.
