HR Compliance Bulletin

Charlotte Member Karin McGinnis was quoted in an HR Compliance Bulletin spotlight article in October. The piece discusses the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s lawsuit against Costco over a customer’s harassment.
"Under federal law, an employer absolutely has an obligation to take prompt, effective, remedial action if employee is harassed by a customer, client, vendor or other third party. The obligation is the same as when the harassment comes from an employee," McGinnis stated.
