Corporate Counsel
In an article on two U.S. Supreme Court decisions that make it harder for employees to prove harassment and retaliation in the workplace, Littler’s Gregory Keating discusses the implications of the ruling in University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center v. Nassar. He notes that the higher standard of proof applied by the Court requires employees to show that they wouldn’t have suffered an adverse action if not for their complaint. Keating also outlines steps employers can take to handle discrimination complaints appropriately and establish a strong evidentiary record against retaliation.
