Our attorneys are knowledgeable and well practiced in representing clients in matters dealing with sexual harassment claims.  Much confusion exists regarding exactly what conduct is considered to be sexual harassment.  It is important to know that not all harassment comes within what is protected under the law.

Specifically, “Sexual Harassment” is defined as conduct by an individual (supervisor, co-worker, Company guest, etc.) that includes, but is not limited to:

  • Submission to sexual conduct by an individual as a basis for employment decisions (e.g. hire, promotion, transfer, training, etc.);
  • Rejection of sexual conduct by an individual where that rejection is used as a basis for employment decisions (e.g. denial of hire, promotion, transfer, training, etc.);
  • Unwelcome sexual conduct that unreasonably interferes with an individual’s job performance;
  • Unwelcome sexual conduct that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment;
  • Or any combination of the above.
