What is sexual harassment sexual or other wise?

Answer 1

Legally, there are two main types of sexual harassment in a workplace. One is a systematic pattern of abuse, and the other type is egregious abuse.

As far as the types of manifestations, sexual harassment can take many forms at work. Here are some examples:

1. Female employees repeatedly complain of being groped by a coworker, and the supervisor does nothing about it. It is an employee with a good reputation at work with high seniority, and he simply claims they are making false claims to harass him.

2. A male supervisor asks a young new male employee at a computer business if he will have sex with him. He declines and is laid off 2 days later and told his services are no longer required.

3. A woman in an entry level position is offered a fast promotion track, and she takes it. The big boss starts making minor changes in her office arrangements. First, he moves her desk into his office. Then he starts making small wardrobe adjustment requests. Then he asks for sex. For sake of argument, now lets suppose she is engaged or happily married and she has no intention of fulfilling his request. He may keep pressuring her, make mild threats, and eventually demote or fire her.

4. A married man gets a job, and a female supervisor takes a liking to him, offers him a raise and a promotion, and then starts trying to seduce him. He resists her advances until things come to a head. Then out of the blue, he is called into the HR office and told she accused him of sexually harassing her.

5. A gay man takes a job and gets treated with open hostility. Coworkers sabotage his equipment, tell lies on him, spread gossip, tell homophobic jokes, write slurs on his locker, leave nasty memos on his desk, etc. He goes to management, who claim they will do something, and the harassment gets even worse, and a couple of the guys physically attack him for telling on them. He defends himself and is fired for fighting, but the ones who attacked him still get to work there.

Answer 2

If someone makes any comments to you that have to do with anything sexual, or that indicate that the person wants some intimate or sexual contact with you, and after you make it clear that such things are not welcome it continues, then you need to report it to your human services office or supervisor. If it's a situation where you feel uncomfortable telling the person to stop, go to your human services office or supervisor. The person is engaging in sexual harassment.

If anyone intentionally touches you in an inappropriate way, that is sexual harassment; report it. If anyone suggests that sexual intimacy will help you advance in the company, that is sexual harassment.

Patting a girl on the shoulder is sexual harassment. Also, if you stand in a bus and it stops abruptly, make sure your hand doesn't touch a girl's thigh when you fall over. That is sexual harassment. These are two scenarios I witnessed that apparently are considered sexual harassment.

Answer 3

While generally, sexual harassment is commonly perceived to occur because an individual (such as an employee or applicant) is subjected to unwelcome sexual conduct such as requests for sexual favors, inappropriate touching, physical or verbal actions of a sexual nature, sexual harassment can also be in a non-sexual form such as sabotaging a person's work because of that person's gender or offensive remarks or comments related to one's gender.

Answer 4

Sexual harassment is any unwelcome sexual advance, request for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. It is defined as any behavior that is offensive, intimidating, or hostile and is directed at an individual or group based on their gender. It can occur in any setting, including the workplace, education, or social settings. It is a very common issue in offices. Most women had to face this issue more than men in the workplace. Most employees are unaware of their employee rights and are afraid of losing their job if they complain about this. People need to stand against this and fight for their rights to stop this social issue. Knowing their rights is an important step in taking a stand against this issue, and seeking the help of a professional employment attorney like Cummings & Franck, P.C. can be invaluable in ensuring that those rights are respected.
