Under California Law the harasser is personally liable to the victim of the harassment. If the harasser is a supervisor, or in a supervisory position, the employer is also liable to the victim. For example, if a manager of a fast food restaurant is found liable of sexual harassment for giving unwelcome massages to the employees, the owner of that fast food restaurant is also liable. This is the case even if the owner has no knowledge of the manager’s actions. The owner may be an individual, a partnership, a corporation, or some other kind of legal entity.
