Employers are not always liable for a hostile work environment; liability often depends on whether they knew about the harassment and failed to take appropriate action. If the harassment was perpetrated by a supervisor, the employer may be held strictly liable. However, if the harassment was by a co-worker, the employer may only be liable if they did not respond adequately to complaints. Ultimately, each case is evaluated based on its specific circumstances and the actions taken by the employer.
