Why Pennsylvania Law Demands Structured Response
Employers in Pennsylvania must respond quickly and thoroughly to harassment complaints:
Coverage Thresholds
The PHRA applies to employers with four or more employees, extending beyond federal thresholds.
Reporting Deadlines
Harassment claims must be filed with the PHRC within 180 days or 300 days with the EEOC.
Enforcement Expectations
Employers must investigate, document, and address incidents promptly or risk penalties.
Our approach aligns with legal best practices, ensuring your organization meets its obligations.
