DISCRIMINATION
Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests
for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual
nature constitutes sexual harassment when submission to or rejection
of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment,
unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates
an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
I Sexual harassment can occur in a variety of circumstances, including
but not limited to the following:
The victim as well as the harasser may be a woman or a man. The victim
does not have to be of the opposite sex.
The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, an agent of the employer,
a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or a non-employee.
The victim does not have to be the person harassed but could be anyone
affected by the offensive conduct.
Unlawful sexual harassment may occur without economic injury to or discharge
of the victim.
The harasser's conduct must be unwelcome.
If you have been a victim of sexual harassment we can assist you with
an EEOC complaint, a civil rights lawsuit, as well as pursuing legal
actions to compensate you for lost wages, opportunity cost, and suffering
