[b]Makes no difference. All she has to do is complain to his HR department, and he is toast[/b].[/quote]

This is nonsense.  OP's HR department is not going to respond to a non-employee's complaint.  It ain't their problem.

And FWIW, asking for a date does not necessarily constitute harassment.  [/quote]

+1 I'm in HR and we would refer her to the police if she wants to file a harassment complaint. [/quote]

Obviously, neither of you works in HR. If you did, you would know about a thing called "third party harassment". This occurs when non-employees harass an employee (usually, a customer, a vendor, or a contractor, but "some dude who works elsewhere in the building" would definitely count). Employers are [i]very definitely liable[/i] if they do not protect their employees against this.

I know if I were the OP, I would not want some VP in her company to inform a VP in my company that "Joe has been banned from our premises for sexually harassing one of our employees". Even if I didn't get fired, that kind of stink clings to you forever.

And hey, OP says she is a contractor, so "third party liability" would certainly apply![/quote]

Lighten up! He just wants to ask her on a date! Don’t get your panties in a bind for God’s sake. [/quote]
