Exactly, it really isn't complicated.

I suspect a complication is just around the corner.

Either way it's sexual harrassment and should be dealt with accordingly. Take advice from HR. Or if you don't have an in-house HR professional, engage a third party before you get in a mess. The last thing you want is the manager making a sexual harrassment case against you in revenge...

I am the director of the company. She is a manager below me

Mr.Generous

dismiss her for some other substantial reason if you can't face working together and no alternative role exists.

How long has she been working there for?

Ok, you weren't game for a bit of her drunken antics but is it really necessary to sack her over it? A bit of a storm which I suspect will blow over very quickly in the cold light of day and don't you have the strength of character to deal with it.

Unless there is some kind of history, sacking is a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Disciplinary with a sanction short of dismissal?

Things like this happen on work nights out. It is awkward but after a week or 2 it goes back to normal (assuming either nothing is said or an apology is made).

Chances are she woke up on Saturday morning with that horrible feeling you wake up with after a night out when you have done something stupid, I am sure we have all been there. Its not like it happens during a normal day is it?

I would be inclined to just leave it and carry on as normal. I am of the opinion if something happens under the influence of alcohol then exceptions or at least allowances should be made.

Good evening all.


I find myself in a very difficult position, Christmas meal on Friday night with a few drinks and my manager pulled me up outside while waiting for a taxi. "I cant stop having sexual thoughts about you, really bad and all the time. Its been happening for months" I responded, I am married and advised her I loved my wife and that was that, hers was I am married too but I cant stop thinking about you. I repeated myself and walked towards a taxi that had just come. She grabbed my arm and got clearly upset and slightly aggressive and asked me why I was being so quiet and unwilling to discuss openly and she wanted me. I again repeated I loved my wife and that nothing will ever happen. Luckily her taxi arrived and I made sure she got in it and went in my home. She had spent the night starring at me if any other female members of staff were talking to me.


I came home and told my wife, who is obviously unhappy. I am very uncomfortable now. I have staff meetings booked in this week for yearly reviews and I did have some criticism to give this employee which could now been see a response to what happened. She has worked for me for 3 years with no other issues. This Is going to make our working relationship very awkward and I am not keen for her to continue in my employment.


Can anyone advise where I stand?


Thanks

Based on your previous threads, do not get advice from here and seek professional legal advice or failing that ACAS.

Unless you have come a long way in 3 years you could well be walking into a lawsuit.

Yes I have come a long way in three years, nice to see you have read previous posts. I see no relevance that three years ago I had someone swear at customers and wanted advice. Things happen in life, things happen in business. If this is my second business problem related post in three years then I'm not going far wrong.
