Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment in the workplace is illegal under the provisions of the Civil Rights Act that prohibit discrimination based on sex, as well as state and local laws. It is broadly defined as unwelcome sexual advances or conduct, where the employee's response affects his or her employment. An employee's job may be explicitly or implicitly threatened, or the individual may simply be forced to work in a hostile or intimidating environment. Victims can be of either gender and do not have to be the opposite gender of the harasser, who can be a co-worker or non-employee as well as a supervisor. In some circumstances, a victim can be a person who is not the target of harassment, but is affected by the environment it creates.
