Sexual Harassment

Sexual Discrimination

The laws prohibiting sexual harassment are clear that unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment. This type of conduct will inevitably affect a person’s day-to-day employment activities, from his or her performance to simply a generally offensive work environment difficult to navigate.

What is sexual harassment?

Quid pro quo

  • This form of sexual harassment is usually easily identifiable. It generally involves someone in a management role threatening your employment or loss of a job benefit because you will not submit to a sexual demand. In turn, it can also apply when a job benefit or promotion is extended to you in return for performing a sexual favor.

Hostile work environment

  • A hostile work environment is created through repetitive speech or conduct, such as jokes, pornographic images on computers or photos, unwanted attention, touching or other sexual attention.

Immediate attention is important in a sexual harassment case in order to make the inappropriate actions cease. Our attorneys have extensive knowledge concerning the laws prohibiting sexual harassment and the obligations your employer has to put an end to the conduct.
