October 26, 2008

Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome advances, verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, seeking sexual favors, or inappropriate sexual interference of a person’s workplace or work performance.

What Law Says

Legally, sexual harassment is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - it is a form of a sexual discrimination. The act applies to a workplace where more than 15 employees work; this includes local, state, and federal workplaces as well as private sector businesses.

Part of doing business in civilized society requires that all employees have an understanding of responsibility in regards to appropriate behavior in the workplace. Harassment of a sexual nature can be curbed substantially-if not entirely eliminated-from the workplace by having complete and adequate knowledge and training.
