While an employer is not legally required to have a written policy regarding sexual harassment, it is advisable to have one and to ensure that it is fully respected and implemented. Case law suggests that where an employer has a written policy regarding sexual harassment and it is respected and adhered to, the employer may avoid liability for acts of sexual harassment by one of its employees that could not reasonably be prevented by the employer.
