Disability Harassment
Under the California
Fair Employment and Housing Act, it is an unlawful
employment practice for an employer (or any other person) to harass employees
or applicants because of their medical condition, physical disability or mental
disability. An employer strictly liable for harassment by the aggrieved
employee's direct supervisor or any other manager. As for harassment by other
coworkers or employees, the employer is liable only if it (or its agents or
supervisor) knew or should have known of this conduct and failed to take
immediate and appropriate corrective action. Supervisors or coworkers may be
held personally liable for harassing another employee regardless of whether the
employer was aware of their conduct.
