Employment Harassment

Monday, 1 November 2010


 
Employment harassment is a typical work issue.  However, not all harassment are actionable in the courts of law.

Unlawful harassment covers unwelcome verbal or physical conduct based on the legally protected characteristics such as gender, race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability and sexual orientation.  To be unlawful, the harassment must:
  1. Be sufficiently pervasive or severe so as to create a hostile work environment
  2. Cause tangible change in an employee’s benefits or status.
Consequently, federal law does not make any act a cause to file a harassment suit. Isolated incidents that are not serious such as a simple teasing or offhand comments is not harassment in the eyes of law.

Harassment in the workplace is a form of discrimination. The harasser can be anyone – manager, boss, supervisor, co-worker, etc. while the victim can be any one as well.
