There are two types of sexual harassment.
Hostile work environment sexual harassment involves unwanted sexual advances, touching, groping, sexual remarks, e-mails, or graphic sexual material in the workplace.
Quid pro quo sexual harassment involves a demand for sexual favors in exchange for something else, such as a raise, a promotion, or special privileges.
According to the U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC) sexual harassment can including a wide range of circumstances, including: but not limited to the following:
- 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 the victim. The victim need not be fired to bring a claim.
- The harasser’s conduct must be unwelcome.
