When a harassment report is filed does the person doing the harassing get notified?

Yes. When a person is being accused of doing something, be it in a court of law or in the workplace, they are notified of the situation. A report can not be placed into an employee's file without first notifying the employee of the report. They (management) will then take whatever measures deemed pertinent in the specific situation. The person being accused of harassment has the right to face their accuser in a court of law, if this is a civil matter, and has the right to defend themselves of the accusations. If it is in the workplace, depending on evidence compiled or lack thereof, the employee being accused of harassment also has avenues to defend themselves against the accusations. In either case, expect that the employee will either fight the accusations or be fired or quit. Remember that a person filing a harassment charge or report is protected under federal law from reprisals. This means that you can not, under any circumstances, be punished for filing the report. If you feel that you are being "picked on" because of it, seek the advice of an attorney or the Department of Labor.
