Sexual Harassment and Demotion
A female employee complained to her employer's personnel department that her male supervisor was sexually harassing her. When she was told that the matter would be fully investigated, she expressed reluctance to continue working in her job while the investigation occurred. Accordingly, she was temporarily transferred to another job.
The investigation revealed that the supervisor had touched both male and female employees by poking them and pulling up on their belt loops. It was determined that although the supervisor's action may have been inappropriate, it didn't amount to sexual harassment. The employer gave the supervisor a reprimand and told him to stop touching the employees
At the conclusion of the investigation, the employer told the employee she had three choices: (1) return to her job, (2) accept another job that would constitute a demotion and result in a pay cut, or (3) quit. Because the employee said she was afraid of repercussions from her supervisor if she went back to her old job, she accepted the demotion.
The employee then filed suit under the Tennessee Human Rights Act. She contended that her employer was guilty of sexual harassment because of the supervisor's improper touching and that it had retaliated against her by effectively forcing her to accept a demotion.
