Sunlight in Workplace Harassment Act
S 1393, the Sunlight in Workplace Harassment Act, requires publicly traded companies (covered issuers) to publicly report annual data on workplace harassment and discrimination settlements and judgments via their Form 10-K filings. Companies must disclose total numbers and dollar amounts for cases involving sexual abuse, harassment, or discrimination based on protected characteristics (like sex, race, disability, or sexual orientation), resolution times, and their prevention measures - while protecting victim privacy by omitting names and allowing victims to opt out of certain disclosures. This applies to settlements involving employees or executives and covers both internal resolutions and legal outcomes. The bill aims to increase transparency about corporate handling of such incidents without mandating new legal standards.
