Discrimination claims can be made against both the employed and the individual alleged to be behaving badly. There may also be potential claims of breach of contract and unfair/constructive dismissal.
 

What is harassment?
It occurs when one person's or a group's behaviour towards another gives offence. For example, such behaviour may take the form of remarks designed to embarrass, inappropriate jokes or ridicule, unwelcome physical contact, suggestions or demands for sexual favours, racial shunning or segregation or racial abuse. Harassment at work can be similar to bullying at school.

What is the legal position?
Employers can be liable for the actions of their workers at work or in a work-related situation (e.g. a social event) unless they can prove that they have taken all reasonable steps to prevent it occurring. A worker could make a claim to an employment tribunal under the Sex Discrimination Act, Race Relations Act or Disability Discrimination Act.
 

What should employers do?
It is advisable to set up a separate complaints procedure for this problem. Individuals may be reluctant to use the grievance procedure if the complaint is of a personal nature or if the person concerned is their line manager. ACAS can help to draw up such policy.
