Maryland Disclosing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Act Reporting Requirements with Jackson Lewis

Maryland Disclosing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Act Reporting Requirements with Jackson Lewis

Join your ACC colleagues and Jackson Lewis P.C. attorneys Donny English and Mary McCudden at Ruth's Chris Steak House at 711 Eastern Avenue at noon on April 4 to learn about the ins and outs of Maryland's new sexual harassment reporting law.

Maryland’s “Disclosing Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Act of 2018” took effect on October 1, 2018.

Has your company thought through all of the issues implicated by this new law?

Most media buzz has focused on the obligations that The Act imposes on employers to report sexual harassment settlements. However, The Act also prohibits certain waivers related to an employee’s future sexual harassment claims and future retaliation claims for making a sexual harassment claim. This portion of The Act raises many unanswered questions such as:

• Is The Act’s restriction on waivers preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act?
• What is the impact of The Act on at-will employment relationships?
• If an employee asserts a claim of sexual harassment and sex discrimination, does an employer face the prospect of parallel proceedings in two forums?

Please RSVP by reserving a ticket by April 1.

• ACC members are free.

• First time guests coming with a member are free.

• Non-ACC members attending for the first time must pay $15 at the door.

• Non-ACC members attending who are not first time guests or first time attendees must email the Chapter Administrator regarding ability to attend.
  

We look forward to seeing you there!

Best regards,

Lynne
