Shoprite Checkers must pay a former employee R25,000 in compensation after she was sexually harassed by a general manager.
The labour court ruling ends five years of wrangling over an incident in December 2016 when JL was assisting a general manager identified as KB to access a file on an absent colleague's computer.
“When I checked the order you then violated my personality rights by slapping me on my private parts. I was shocked at first but then my shock turned to anger. You have violated me as a person and your action was totally uncalled for and borders [on] sexual harassment.” Lagrange said the case was “not the most egregious example of an employer’s failure to deal with a sexual harassment complaint adequately”, but Shoprite’s handling of the matter fell short of what was necessary.
