After Work Drinks
Friday after work drinks is a social activity partaken by many industries and is a way for colleagues to meet and greet in a space away from the workplace. However could it be, that the pub up the road from your office is still considered the workplace? A woman successfully sued her employer for sexual harassment by a colleague despite the incidents happening in nearby bars. The court ruled the bars were an extension of the workplace because management encouraged staff to attend. This case highlights that employers can be liable for harassment outside the office if it's work-related.
