Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to sue the company, Donna must show that the company knew or should have known about the sexual harassment and failed to stop it. This is a legal concept known as "vicarious liability," which holds the employer responsible for the actions of their employees if they knew or should have known about the harassment. It is not necessary for Donna to show that the male harassed others at the same company or that the company supported the harassment, although such evidence could be helpful in proving her case. The fact that the male has worked at the company the entire time in question is not relevant to Donna's case.
