Obligations of the employer

The employer should organise the prevention of the abuse of authority in sexual matters in working relationships within the company. This prevention is even more efficient when it is in the framework of a personnel policy supporting the mixture of jobs and professional equality between men and women.

The employer has the choice of means

Specifically, he can :
Take actions to inform and raise the consciousness of the employees concerning the provisions of the law dated 2 November 1992 and on the different forms of abuse authority in sexual matters in work relationships ;
put into place an internal company procedure aiming to assure a recourse to victims of sexual harassment: the nomination of one or several persons empowered to accept complaints from the interested party and to attempt to resolve the conflict, if necessary with a high-level manager.

In companies and businesses with 20 employees and more

The provisions concerning the abuse of authority
in sexual matters in work relationships
should appear in the company's internal rules;
The company's internal rules as well as the provisions concerning professional equality
between women and men should be posted in the workplace as well as in the offices and at the door of the areas where hiring takes place;
The Hygiene, Security and Work Conditions Committee, (CHSCT) can propose preventative measures to the employer, specifically by reorganizing working conditions.
