Sexual Harassment
It is unlawful to harass a person (an applicant or employee) because of that
person’s sex. Harassment can include “sexual harassment” or unwelcome
sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical
harassment of a sexual nature.
Harassment does not have to be of a sexual nature, however, and can include
offensive remarks about a person’s sex. For example, it is illegal to
harass a woman by making offensive comments about women in general.
Both victim and the harasser can be either a woman or a man, and the victim
and harasser can be the same sex.
Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or
isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it
is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work
environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as
the victim being fired or demoted).
The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, a supervisor in another area, a
co-worker, or someone who is not an employee of the employer, such as a
client or customer. |
