ABSTRACT
Under the Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Act, 2000, the employer must refrain from any act of sexual harassment within working relationships, as must any client or supplier of the company. The agreement between the Union of Luxembourg Enterprises, the Independent Trade Union Confederation of Luxembourg, and the Luxembourg Confederation of Christian Trade Unions on harassment, bullying, and violence gives effect to the Framework Agreement signed at European level. The agreement is the first Luxembourg labor regulation to provide a general definition of the term moral harassment that is not limited to harassment based on discrimination. The agreement requires companies to introduce a transparent procedure for the prevention and management of bullying and violence at work as a result of consultation with staff representatives. The agreement provides that an employer can be held responsible for failure to adequately implement the required preventive measures and risk management policy.
