1. Jane has recently taken up employment as an accounts clerk at Bodge Builders' warehouse. She is the only female employee at the premises. Jane has complained to Joe the foreman that she is constantly being subjected to remarks by some of the male employees comparing her physique and sexual attrac- tiveness unfavourably with a large number of female pin-ups which the men have posted conspicuously in various parts of the warehouse that can be seen from Jane's office.
Advise the management in terms of liability.
2. Tom and Harry are shop assistants and short of cash. They decide to borrow from the till. Tom leaves a note in the till and replaces the money the following day. Harry neither leaves a note nor does he replace the money. The employer has discovered what has happened and wishes to dismiss Tom and Harry but does not wish to incur liability.
