A new Delaware law specifically addresses the prohibition against sexual harassment under the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act (DDEA), sets an affirmative defense for employers, imposes mandatory notice distribution on employers with at least four employees within the state, and provides anti-sexual harassment training requirements for employers with at least 50 employees in the state.

Delaware Adopts Law Expanding Sexual Harassment Protections and Requiring Employee Training

August 30, 2018 | Littler Filed Under: General (DE)

Littler

On August 29, 2018, Delaware Governor John Carney signed into law a bill (SB 360) addressing sexual harassment in the workplace. The new law broadly defines, and prohibits, sexual harassment and retaliation. The statute obligates employers (with 4 or more employees) to issue an information sheet on sexual harassment. It also requires larger employers (with 50 or more employees) to provide sexual harassment training for all employees and supervisors, making Delaware the fifth state to statutorily mandate sexual harassment training. The Delaware law will become effective on January 1, 2019.

Delaware Compensation History Ban: Another State Making A Pronouncement About Pay Equity

August 30, 2017 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: General (DE)

Jackson Lewis

With another Labor Day approaching, employers are once again thinking about the many tasks that need to be completed before year end. Let’s add one more – remembering to add Delaware to the list of jurisdictions prohibiting employers from asking applicants’ compensation history pre-offer. The synopsis of the law states that when an employer affirmatively asks about pay history, it perpetuates gender disparities from one job to another.

Delaware Enacts Law to Address Gender Pay Gap By Prohibiting Employers From Requesting Compensation History of Job Applicants

June 20, 2017 | Littler Filed Under: General (DE)

Littler

On June 14, 2017, Delaware Governor John Carney signed a new law to address the pay gap between men and women by prohibiting prospective employers from asking job applicants about their salary history. Delaware’s law, which garnered significant bipartisan support, is based on the same rationale used for similar measures enacted in Oregon, Massachusetts, New York City, and Philadelphia: pay inequities are perpetuated when current pay is based on past employer decisions that could have been discriminatory based on gender. The new law aims to reduce persistent pay gaps between the genders by prohibiting inquiry into a job applicant’s compensation history, with the hopes of encouraging employers to proactively assess pay based on other factors, such as merit, experience, and the market.

Applying Delaware Law, Federal Trial Court in Texas Determines that Restrictive Covenants in Incentive Stock Agreements Are Overbroad and Unenforceable as Written

October 4, 2016 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: General (DE)

Jackson Lewis

The importance of drafting non-competition and other restrictive covenant agreements narrowly in terms of geography, duration and scope of activities to reasonably meet the employer’s legitimate business interests should not be underestimated. A recent decision from the Southern District of Texas illustrates the importance of narrowly crafting post-employment restrictions.

October 6, 2014 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: General (DE)

Delaware Enacts Gender Identity Nondiscrimination Law

June 25, 2013 | Jackson Lewis Filed Under: General (DE)

Jackson Lewis

Delaware Governor Jack Markell has signed the Gender Identity Nondiscrimination Act, making Delaware the 17th state to enact law prohibiting gender identity discrimination. The Act adds gender identity to the list of protected classes under Delaware law prohibiting discrimination and hate crimes. Effective immediately, the law (S.B. 97) bans discrimination on the basis of gender identity in employment, places of public accommodation, housing and public works contracting. The law also provides for increased penalties under the hates crimes law against a person who intentionally selects the victim of a crime because of the victim’s gender identity.
