The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) published its long-awaited final guidance on harassment in the workplace on April 29, 2024, several months following its released proposed guidance in September, which we previously discussed, and 25 years since its last workplace harassment guidance in 1999. The “Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace†provides a detailed overview of recent anti-harassment case law, as well as the EEOC’s view of certain “hot button†issues and topics. The final guidance is substantively the same as the proposed guidance, but the EEOC added illustrative examples and analysis at the request of commentators.
