Understanding Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Harassing an applicant or an employee based on their gender is illegal under federal and state law. Workplace harassment is considered a form of employment discrimination. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), numerous circumstances constitute sexual harassment.
Sexual behavior that affects an employee's job status or their ability to do their job is considered harassment. Likewise, sexual behavior that creates an hostile environment can be considered harassment.
Types of sexual harassment in the workplace include:
- Unwelcome sexual advances
- Unwelcome touching, hugging, or kissing
- Verbal sexual comments
- Physical conduct of a sexual nature
- Requests for sexual favors, also known as quid pro quo
- Offensive or sexual emails, texts, and social media posts
- Display of offensive objects, images, or pictures
- Gender slurs or name calling
- Physical assaults, threats, or intimidation
- Sexually based ridicule or insults
Employers are required to provide a safe work environment for their employees. Victims of sexual harassment are legally entitled to receive compensation from proven offenders and the companies that employ them. Our team of dedicated sexual harassment attorneys can provide the hard-hitting advocacy you need to hold responsible parties accountable.
Aspects of sexual harassment:
- The harasser can be of any gender
- The victim does not need to be the opposite sex
- A victim can be harassed by an immediate supervisor or other superior
- A victim can be harassed by another co-worker, vendor, or client
- Anyone affected by the conduct can be a victim, not just the intended target
