Title VII prohibits sexual harassment
in the workplace. Generally, there are two
types of sexual harassment that are illegal
under Title VII:
|
- "Quid Pro Quo" harassment: This type
of harassment includes "unwanted sexual
advances, request for sexual favors."
It is illegal for someone in management
to make expressly, or implicitly, make
your participation in this type of conduct
a condition of continued employment or
to affect the terms of your employment
- "Hostile Work Environment" harassment:
This includes any unwelcome sexual advances,
requests for sexual favors, and other
verbal or physical sexual conduct of a
nature that unreasonably interferes with
your ability to do your job, or creates
an intimidating, hostile, or offensive
work environment.
|
An example of quid pro quo
harassment would be where your direct supervisor
tells you, "if you come home and spend the
night with me, I will make sure that your
job is safe."
A "hostile work environment" may exists where:
|
- employees are constantly talking
about you in a sexual manner
- the workplace is full of posters that
display women in the nude, or which depict
sexually explicit acts and conduct.
- another employee or supervisor
touches you in sexual manner.
|
The law requires employers to
post a notice regarding sexual harassment
in the workplace, to maintain a policy prohibiting
"sexual harassment," and to notify its employees
regarding who they can contact if they feel
that they have been subjected to harassment
