Report Link Minnesota Supreme Court Adopts Liability Standard for Harassment by a Supervisor.
Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. - August 27, 2008
In a recent decision, the Minnesota Supreme Court adopted the federal standard for determining when an employer will be liable, even without prior notice or complaint, for harassment by a supervisor. The Frieler v. Carlson Marketing Group Inc. decision of May 30, 2008, has wide-ranging implications for companies with employees in Minnesota.

Littler Mendelson, P.C. - June 05, 2008
The Minnesota Supreme Court has adopted the federal liability standard for sexual harassment suits brought pursuant to the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA). In Frieler v. Carlson Marketing Group, Inc., No. A06-1693 (May 30, 2008), Minnesota's highest court ruled that the liability standard established by the United States Supreme Court ten years ago for Title VII harassment cases in Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth, 524 U.S. 742 (1998) and Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775 (1998) also applies to state claims under the MHRA. The case resolves an unsettled question that arose when the Minnesota legislature amended the MHRA in 2001.
