Stephen Tedesco addresses the rise of "love contracts" in the workplace
"Workplace 'Love Contracts' on the Rise," National Law Journal
Littler's Stephen Tedesco discusses the origin of Love Contracts, saying the idea came around five years ago when two executives at a client company wanted to protect themselves and the company from sexual harassment claims. Since then, numerous other law firms have followed suit. Tedesco says “so-called love contracts confirm that a relationship is consensual, state the ground rules for office behavior and reiterate sexual harassment policies,” and urges employers to protect themselves against sexual harassment issues that may stem from intra-office relationships.
