sexual harassment and the law

It is illegal to harass an employee or applicant because of that person’s sex. Although incidents of a non-serious nature, simple teasing, and isolated occurrences are not unlawful, sexual harassment is illegal when it interferes with an employee’s, supervisor’s, or client’s ability to work. It is also unlawful when acts of sexual harassment result in adverse employment decisions (firing or demoting employees) or create an unsafe or offensive hostile work environment. Both victim and the harasser can be of any sex or gender and the victim and harasser can be of the same sex.
