Sexual Harassment
Every employee, whether male or female, is protected by the federal and state laws that prohibit sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can present itself in many forms. Typically, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or subjection to an environment where unwelcome verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature is pervasive constitutes illegal sexual harassment. It is against the law for an employer to allow an environment to exist where unwelcome sexual conduct interferes with an individual’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. Federal and state laws also prohibit retaliation if the worker complains about sexual harassment or supports a co-worker who has brought a complaint of sexual harassment.
