While the law provides some guidance on what behaviors may constitute hostile work environment sexual harassment, it can be subjective and vary based on the circumstances. Generally, behaviors that are severe or pervasive, unwelcome, and of a sexual nature may constitute hostile work environment sexual harassment. It is crucial to consider the specific facts of each case to determine if harassment has occurred.

Sexual harassment is unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature. Although sexual harassment can come in a wide variety of specific forms, sexual harassment cases generally fit into one of two broad legal categories: Quid Pro Quo Sexual Harassment: Quid pro quo sexual harassment occurs when an employee is pressured into giving sexual favors/accepting sexual advances in exchange for a benefit or to avoid punishment. Hostile Work Environment Sexual Harassment: Hostile work environment sexual harassment occurs when an employee has been made to feel unsafe or unwelcome in the workplace due to sexual-related conduct. To constitute a hostile work environment under the law, the harassing behavior must be “severe or pervasive.” Know Your Rights: You Deserve a Safe Workplace You should never be forced to endure harassment by a business owner, supervisor, co-worker, or customer.
