834.53 Counseling or discipline of offending supervisor

Where the employer discriminated against an employee by subjecting her to abusive sexual advances, it was required to, among other things, provide its managerial and supervisory employees with training as to what constitutes unlawful sexual harassment, and provide the personnel manager with additional counseling. While LIRC would normally order the employer to take action to discipline the employee’s immediate supervisor who engaged in the sex discrimination, that supervisor had left the employer's business. Hamilton v. Appleton Elec. (LIRC, 08/08/80).

An employer was ordered to advise company supervisors how to interpret the bargaining agreement in order not to deny female employees their rights under the Act. Tyler v. Pacon (DILHR, 11/30/72).

An employer was ordered to change the job title of “housekeeper,” recruit males for the position, fully explain its new transfer rules to all employees and communicate to DILHR within 90 days its compliance with the order. Bruce v. Parker Pen (DILHR, 11/14/72).
