Legal Obligations Missouri Employers Can’t Overlook
Missouri law requires prompt, documented responses to harassment claims:
Statutory Coverage
The Missouri Human Rights Act applies to employers with more than six full-time employees and prohibits sex discrimination.
Timely Filing Windows
The Missouri Commission on Human Rights, or EEOC, has set a deadline of 180 days for the victim to report this crime.
Mandatory Employer Response
Employers are expected to properly investigate, address incidents, and document all actions, or there may be legal repercussions.
Our counseling process directly supports compliance with these requirements.
Missouri Workplace Case Summaries
Rapid Response Prevents Hostile Environment
In Young v. Missouri Dept. of Corrections, the action taken against the harassing coworker was immediate, notably including modification of the victim’s workspace access. If intervention is swift and speedy, the courts consider this paramount even where the harassment falls short of a hostile-environment label.

Cass County Lawsuits Highlight Retaliation Risk
A bailiff, after being slapped by a supervisor and thereafter marginalized, filed a suit against the Cass County Sheriff’s Office. The internal investigation found the incident constituted assault under the policy, but no arrest ensued, thus triggering a lawsuit over the perceived denial of adequate disciplinary action.
