What Is Sexual Harassment?
Sexual harassment can take many forms. Because every situation is unique, you should consult with an experienced attorney before taking any action. Typically, the hallmark of sexual harassment is some form of unwanted sexual advance or content that results in what is known as a hostile work environment, one that makes you stressed, afraid or unwilling to return to work. Although it is difficult to define all situations that may be considered sexual harassment, here are some examples:
- Unwanted sexual advances like repeatedly asking you for dates, drinks or propositioning you for sexual relations
- Quid pro quo the offer of a supervisor, manager or fellow employee to perform favors for you in exchange for sex
- Inappropriate touching including pinches, slaps on the rear, massages, intentional "brush-ups" and other unwanted or inappropriate touching
- Inappropriate sexual comments particularly ones about your physical attributes
- Inappropriate questions especially involving explicit sexual topics
- Offensive content including “dirty jokes”, pornography and other materials or language that affect your ability to perform your job or make you extremely uncomfortable performing your job
