Sexual harassment can be divided into two categories:
- The first is hostile work environment. This is when supervisors or co-workers create a work environment in which a person feels unsafe or unable to work by making sexually charged comments, adult jokes or unwanted advances. Inappropriate touching and the presence of pornography or adult materials in the workplace can also contribute to a hostile work environment.
- The second category of sexual harassment is referred to as quid pro quo. This is when someone in a position of authority offers to promote, provide a raise or give some other job-related incentive in exchange for sexual favors.
Sexual harassment should not be confused with gender discrimination, which is also illegal. Gender discrimination is any negative action based on an employee’s gender, such as wrongful termination, failure to promote or disciplinary action. Regardless of the form of discrimination or workplace harassment you have encountered, you should discuss your case with a dedicated lawyer at the Law Office of Donald W. Bedell as soon as possible to review your options.
