What can the employer do about a complaint of harassment that occurred after work and away from company premises?
Generally, the company should not intrude or become involved with the private lives of employees. However, supervisors may be viewed as company representatives when off the job, depending upon the circumstances. If there is a report or complaint of supervisory harassment, the company should look into the matter and ascertain if the employee’s outside activity has a nexus to the workplace or a harmful effect on the employer’s operation.
