Do women in the workplace still have to tolerate sexual harassment to advance or maintain their job positions? Why or why not?

THE SCENARIO:

You are human resource managers in a non-unionized company. One of your
responsibilities is to act as an internal consultant for management on legal matters. You are viewed as employment law experts.

THE TASK:
Today, the Vice-President has asked you to look into a particular topic. You are expected to research the issue and analyze it so that you can write a report for information and possible action. Because the issues lend themselves to different points of view, in pairs you are expected to take opposite view points on the issue and argue your position relying on the research sources you have examined (not merely your personal opinions). Your final report should include the following:

THE QUESTIONS:

A well-organized discussion of each of your two positions on the topic and the reasons you rely on to support your different positions on it.

An outline of the general financial implications of each position for the company

MARKING GUIDELINE

(a) Relevant Legal Sources

Under this part you will be marked on whether you cite the relevant legislation, cases, and tribunal rulings for your topic. For example, if your topic is on sexual harassment and you fail to cite the relevant statutes and a few cases on point, you will obviously not earn the 2 marks in this part. You will also be marked on whether you explain the impact of the legislation or court or tribunal decision on your topic, thus, it is not sufficient to just provide a summary of what was decided in the case. You must explain how the decision in each case impacts your assessment of the topic.

(b) Is the Law Cited on Topic

Are the laws you cite on topic for the issue you are dealing with? If you are dealing with sexual
harassment under Ontario law and you cite federal law or American law, then it is not on topic
unless there is no Ontario law on point. If you cite outdated Ontario law that has changed, then it
is not on topic.

Is it obvious from the paper that you have done in depth research and produced a certain quality and number of resources? Are the sources current or outdated? Are the sources peer-reviewed and reliable or merely unjustified opinions? Are the sources likely to be biased on the
issue?
