Although the basic principles regarding harassment under the FEHA are generally similar to federal law, California's FEHA anti-harassment provisions apply more broadly. California law is much more specific.
California law (called the Fair Employment and Housing Act or FEHA) prohibits discrimination, harassment and retaliation. The law also requires that employers “take reasonable steps to prevent and correct wrongful (harassing, discriminatory, retaliatory) behavior in the workplace (Cal. Govt. Code §12940(k)).
Under Title VII, there are two primary forms of harassment claims, which include sexual harassment in quid pro quo fashion and a hostile work environment. Similar to fraud and security training, employers should have a policy in place for sexual harassment to protect and prevent other illegal activities like bribery.
