Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Tennessee

Re: Pornographic stuff on a computor at a County offic.

Generally, the law of sexual harassment gives an employer 2 possible safe harbors against complaints. The first is if there is an established complaint process and the employee fails to avail himself or herself of that process for resolution. The second is if the employee does make a complaint, then if "prompt and appropriate" remedial action is taken the employer is safe from potential liability.

The extent of "prompt and appropriate" is fairly nebulous and would take much more space to thoroughly answer than can be used here. However, the short definition is if the harassing conduct is stopped shortly after notice is given to to the employer, then the employer is safe.

Your situation seems to present a factual situation in which it is likely that the employer took prompt and appropriate remedial action to terminate the harassing conduct. I would recommend that you speak with an experienced labor and employment law attorney, however, to determine if you may have some other recourse.
