What is Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment consists of unsolicited and unwanted offensive sexual advances, sexual conduct or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that affects an individual’s work environment. Sexual harassment is inappropriate and degrading and should not be tolerated by anyone. It is your right to work in an environment free from any form of harassment, including sexual harassment.

There are three types of sexual harassment:

Quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when an individual submits to sexual advances in exchange for some employment benefit, such as a promotion, or when an individual refuses to submit to sexual advances and is denied an employment benefit. Gender stereotype harassment occurs when an employer, co-worker or supervisor harasses an individual because he or she does not conform to the typical male or female stereotype. Hostile work environment harassment occurs when there is verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature which unreasonably interferes with a person’s job performance or creates a hostile, intimidating or offensive work environment. There must be a pattern of offensive conduct or many incidents of harassment. Typically, one time is not enough unless it is extremely serious.
