the punch line to a very dirty joke. You feel the joke is inappropriate. Is this sexual harassment under the law?

2. An employee meets with you and tells you that, five years ago, a then-supervisor was sexually harassing him. What do you do?

3. After conducting a thorough investigation, you conclude that sexual harassment has not taken place. What’s next?
