Sexual Harassment

Respondent employed Complainant at a branch location.  Complainant alleged she had been subjected to unwelcome conduct and touching, sexual in nature by Respondent’s Assistant Branch Manager (hereinafter ABM), which she objected to.  Complainant alleged the ABM inquired about her medical condition when she needed an additional day off for medical leave, and when she refused, he took her to human resources for leave without approval.  Complainant alleged that she complained to her supervisor and human resources and that it resulted in Respondent’s ABM repeatedly retaliating against her by writing her up for minor infractions and raising his voice at her.  The matter has been referred to the Hearing unit for further review.
