2. Case Study taken:
A woman is sexually harassed by a top-level senior executive in a large
company. She sues the company, and during settlement discussions she is
offered an extremely large monetary settlement. In the agreement, the woman is
required to confirm that the executive did nothing wrong, and after the agreement
is signed the woman is prohibited from discussing anything about the incident
publicly. Before the date scheduled to sign the settlement agreement, the
woman's lawyer mentions that she has heard the executive has done this before,
and the settlement amount is very large because the company probably had a
legal obligation to dismiss the executive previously. The company however
wants to keep the executive because he is a big money maker for the company.
What are the issues of integrity, ethics and law posed in the case study?
What options does the woman have, and what should she do and why?

3. Introduction
Before we can answer this case let us
explain these terms to you.
➔ Integrity: the quality of being honest and having
strong moral principles.
➔ Ethics: moral principles that govern a person's
behavior or the conduct of an activity.
➔ Law: the system of rules which a particular
country or community recognizes as regulating
the actions of its members and which it may
enforce by the imposition of penalties.

4. The issues of integrity in this case is that the company is obviously ignoring her civil rights
as an Individual. The company kept a man who is known for sexual harassment in their
company just because of the amount of profit he brings into the company. There should
be a higher moral standard for the company itself, this executive is going to constantly
present an inappropriate image for the company. Soon people are going to stop applying
there because the employees. aren't treated equally. Even though they are providing
hush money for the woman, that doesn't mean that her memory of harassment will
disappear. As I see it the woman has about two options in this situation. One, she can
decline the settlement amount and continue with the sexual harassment case. This is a
risk that'll possibly cause her to be fired from this job, however if she wants true justice,
she should expose the executive for who he truly is, instead of being another quiet victim.
The second option is that she can accept the settlement, keep her job there at the
company, and become another victim of sexual harassment. Which may cause another
girl the fall in the same position that she was once in.
