... is that if you are a manager, and an employee sues you for sexual harassment, you may be personally financially liable.
Whereas if you discriminate against the employee for racial, ethnic, religious, etc. reasons, the company you work for is financially liable. You're not.
Isn't that fascinating?
Disclaimer: I attended a Managing Within the Law training seminar earlier this week. I may have misunderstood something. If you are contemplating sexually harassing or discriminating against someone, I recommend you a) not do it b) not rely on this blog post for legal advice and c) consult a lawyer first. By the time you've done all that, you ideally should have mastered that incredibly dumb impulse you had anyway.

And I understand that if an outside person, a supplier, for example, sexually harasses an employee, that the company that the employee works for is liable. Fascinating, indeed.
