Sexual harassment in the workplace imposes heavy obligations on the employer-even when unaware, and even when the act was not committed by the employer personally.<\/span><\/p><h2 dir=\"rtl\" style=\"text-align: left;\">5 Things You Should Know Before Reading Further<\/h2><ol style=\"text-align: left;\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sexual harassment is both a criminal offense and grounds for civil action-two avenues that may be pursued simultaneously and independently of one another.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employer who has not fulfilled statutory obligations may be held liable for a tort committed by an employee-even if unaware of it at the time.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compensation without proof of damage for sexual harassment stands at up to NIS 120,000. Under the 2023 amendment-when the harassment is motivated by racial or hostile intent-the amount is doubled. <\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Labor Court examines claims of sexual harassment using a dual test: objective and subjective-the victim&#8217;s feelings alone are insufficient.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An employer who has properly fulfilled all obligations-implemented preventive measures, conducted a proper investigation, and handled the complaint efficiently-may be exempt from liability.<\/span><\/li><\/ol><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>What Constitutes Sexual Harassment-and What Does Not<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law, 5758-1998, sets forth in Section 3 an exhaustive list of acts constituting sexual harassment. The list encompasses a broad range: from physical acts to repeated sexual propositions, degrading references to a person&#8217;s body, and offensive publications. The law covers harassment between men and women, women and men, and within the same sex. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is important to emphasize: not every unpleasant experience constitutes sexual harassment as defined by law. The National Labor Court held in LCA 54435-12-19 Dr. Liana Beni Adani v. Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality (4.8.2021) that the binding precedent in Israel is an <\/span><b>objective-subjective test<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-&#8220;the subjective feeling of harm alone, however genuine, is insufficient.&#8221; The alleged conduct must also meet the objective test, not merely the complainant&#8217;s personal feelings. In other words: the court examines both the victim&#8217;s subjective experience and whether a reasonable person would view the conduct as sexual harassment.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Three Avenues of Recourse-May Be Pursued Concurrently<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Criminal avenue:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Filing a complaint with the police for an offense under the Penal Law-Sections 348-349 and others. Conducting an investigation, filing an indictment, criminal proceedings. This avenue does not require proof of monetary damage.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Civil avenue:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Filing a claim with the Labor Court, either against the harasser personally or against the employer. Compensation without proof of damage reaches up to NIS 120,000 for harassment, and up to NIS 240,000 when accompanied by racial or hostile motive.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Disciplinary avenue:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Filing an internal complaint with the employer&#8217;s designated official. This avenue requires a proper investigation, determination, and implementation of measures. It does not cancel or replace the other two avenues.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Employer Liability-The Heart of the Law<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the true innovation of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment Law: the employer is not only obligated to refrain from harassment personally-the employer also bears liability for the acts of employees.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Section 7 of the Law<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> provides that an employer employing more than 25 employees must implement three types of measures: prevention, treatment, and remediation. This includes: publishing regulations containing the main provisions of the law, appointing an &#8220;official&#8221; to handle sexual harassment complaints, and establishing an effective procedure for filing and investigating complaints.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>The Prevention of Sexual Harassment Regulations (Employer&#8217;s Obligations), 5758-1998<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> detail the practical requirements: how the investigation is conducted, what happens when the official has a conflict of interest, how to handle the complaint after findings are determined, and more.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The employer will be held liable if obligations were not fulfilled and an employee committed harassment-even if the employer was unaware of the harassment and did not commit it personally.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>When Is the Employer Exempt from Liability<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In LCA 51504-01-14 Jane Doe v. John Doe (08.09.2015), an important precedent was established: <\/span><b>an employer who has fulfilled obligations will not be held liable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In other words-one who implemented reasonable preventive measures, acted efficiently upon learning of the matter, and remedied the harm to the extent possible-may be exempt from liability even if an employee in the organization was harassed.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rationale: the law does not impose absolute liability on the employer without conditions. It imposes an enhanced <\/span><b>duty of care<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-and one who fulfills it will not be held liable for the undesired outcome that occurred despite such efforts.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>The Rule Many Employers Miss: The Investigation Must Be Substantive<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The provisions of the Regulations set forth in Section 6(b) and onward how the investigation shall be conducted: hearing all parties, receiving evidence, reasoned determination, and reporting to the parties. An investigation conducted superficially, without genuine hearing of the parties, and with predetermined conclusions-does not fulfill the statutory duty of investigation. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Section 6(c) of the Regulations provides that when the official has a conflict of interest or personal relationship with one of the parties-the matter must be transferred to another official. The rule: &#8220;An official with personal involvement in the subject of the complaint shall not handle the investigation.&#8221; <\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>A Strategy That Protects the Employer in Advance<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In sexual harassment claims, the strongest defense is proof that the employer fulfilled all obligations. This requires: <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Valid regulations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-published, brought to employees&#8217; attention, and containing all elements required by law.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Authorized and trained official<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-duly appointed, having completed appropriate training, and known to employees as a point of contact.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Prompt and orderly response<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-when a complaint is received, the investigation begins without delay, is conducted according to the rules, and concludes in writing with clear findings.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Separation of parties<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-following a determination, measures are taken to ensure the situation does not continue-even if harassment was not proven after investigation and no judgment was rendered, and without prejudicing the rights of the complainant.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Positive policy, not merely prohibitive<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-Labor Court rulings have repeatedly emphasized: the duty is not only to &#8220;prohibit&#8221;-it is also to &#8220;promote&#8221; an organizational culture that does not allow the phenomenon to exist.<\/span><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Conclusion: Not &#8220;What Happened&#8221;-But &#8220;What You Did&#8221;<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The practical emphasis to remember: in a sexual harassment claim, the discussion often focuses not only on the question &#8220;Did the harassment actually occur&#8221;-but also on a parallel and equally substantive question: &#8220;Did the employer do everything required to prevent and address it?&#8221; One who can prove an affirmative answer to the second question-is in a significantly stronger legal position. <\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employers who wish to ensure their sexual harassment prevention system meets statutory requirements-and employees who feel they have been harmed-should obtain legal advice before the situation escalates.<\/span><\/i><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a9 <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/tidhar-law.co.il\/en\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tidhar Tzur Law Firm<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> | This article is for general information purposes only and does not constitute individual legal advice.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44cc8ca e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"44cc8ca\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c52dfd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-softlite_dynamic_card_box\" data-id=\"c52dfd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"softlite_dynamic_card_box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t <section class=\"softlite-dynamic-card-box vvcjew9w softlite-dynamic-card-box-background-color-1\" data-softlite-card-box-link-href=\"\" data-softlite-card-box-link-target=\"\"><div class=\"o5w54tgn\"><div class=\"opw2d1d9\"><h2 class=\"x7hxb9lx softlite-dynamic-card-box-text-1\">Need Legal Counsel?<\/h2><p class=\"c7h5f5jm softlite-dynamic-card-box-text-2\">Contact us for an initial consultation and we will find the right solution for you<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/tidhar-law.co.il\/en\/contact\/\" class=\"fw6z7srx softlite-dynamic-card-box-button softlite-dynamic-card-box-button-text\">Schedule a Meeting<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" class=\"pj26y58s\"><path d=\"m12 19-7-7 7-7\"><\/path><path d=\"M19 12H5\"><\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/section> \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1483ff1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1483ff1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c52a5b5 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-mobile__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"c52a5b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/+972542379988\" target=\"_blank\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" class=\"ru53826z\">   <path d=\"M17.472 14.382c-.297-.149-1.758-.867-2.03-.967-.273-.099-.471-.148-.67.15-.197.297-.767.966-.94 1.164-.173.199-.347.223-.644.075-.297-.15-1.255-.463-2.39-1.475-.883-.788-1.48-1.761-1.653-2.059-.173-.297-.018-.458.13-.606.134-.133.298-.347.446-.521.151-.174.2-.298.3-.497.099-.198.05-.371-.025-.52-.075-.149-.669-1.612-.916-2.207-.242-.579-.487-.5-.669-.51-.173-.008-.371-.01-.57-.01-.198 0-.52.074-.792.372-.272.297-1.04 1.016-1.04 2.479 0 1.462 1.065 2.875 1.213 3.074.149.198 2.096 3.2 5.077 4.487.709.306 1.262.489 1.694.625.712.227 1.36.195 1.871.118.571-.085 1.758-.719 2.006-1.413.248-.694.248-1.289.173-1.413-.074-.124-.272-.198-.57-.347m-5.421 7.403h-.004a9.87 9.87 0 01-5.031-1.378l-.361-.214-3.741.982.998-3.648-.235-.374a9.86 9.86 0 01-1.51-5.26c.001-5.45 4.436-9.884 9.888-9.884 2.64 0 5.122 1.03 6.988 2.898a9.825 9.825 0 012.893 6.994c-.003 5.45-4.437 9.884-9.885 9.884m8.413-18.297A11.815 11.815 0 0012.05 0C5.495 0 .16 5.335.157 11.892c0 2.096.547 4.142 1.588 5.945L0 24l6.335-1.662c1.746.953 3.71 1.454 5.709 1.455h.005c6.554 0 11.89-5.335 11.893-11.893a11.821 11.821 0 00-3.48-8.413Z\" class=\"y3wtg2e3\"><\/path> <\/svg><\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: A Guide for Employers and Employees | Adv.
