Compliance Standards for Delaware Workplaces
Delaware employers must be aware of key legal requirements:
Broader Statutory Coverage
States that have enacted anti-discrimination laws protect employees who work for small organizations with 4 or more people under their jurisdiction, below the federal 15-employee threshold.
Complaint Deadlines
Harassment claims should be filed no later than 300 days with the Delaware Department of Labor or, alternatively, 180 days with the EEOC.
Ban on NDA Silencing
As of July 1, 2024, settlement agreements are prohibited from containing any provisions restricting the parties from discussing incidents, situations, or allegations of sexual harassment or sexual assault.
Our training supports meeting compliance through a methodological, documented approach.

Sexual Harassment Lawsuit in New Castle County
A New Castle County employee filed suit after enduring months of sexually explicit messages from her supervisor. She alleges that the county delayed action on the complaint, thereby allowing the harasser to continue working in her workplace. The Department of Labor decided that reasonable cause existed, paving the way to federal litigation.
Federal Judge Dismisses Trooper’s Harassment Lawsuit, Highlights Complaints
A former Delaware State Police sergeant, Nicole Hantz (then Oldham), sued over alleged discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation spanning for years, claiming harassment by coworkers and a hostile environment. In her lawsuit, she described harassment through rumors of sexual activity and alleged that a promotion was withheld because she had refused sexual advances. A federal judge dismissed some of the counts due to untimeliness and insufficient proof of a hostile work environment.
