Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is defined in the law as “unwanted sexual advances.”  Generally, there are two types of sexual harassment:

Quid quo pro harassment occurs when the harasser either threatens that adverse employment actions could occur, or one could get preferential treatment only if one gave in to the advances.  Sometimes women who are harassed are afraid to tell the harasser that they do no “want” the advance because she wants to avoid an uncomfortable confrontation, feels guilty or fears retribution.  However, unless it is made clear to the person making advances that their advances are unwanted, it is very difficult to prove that the harasser knew their advances were unwanted.

Hostile Environment is a legal term often associated with sexual harassment.  Where the environment is either demeaning, embarrassing, disgusting, such as an office with sexual pictures, regular sexual comments or jokes, or other conduct that is “hostile” to a person based upon either that person’s sex.

Hostile Environment does not pertain only to sexual harassment.  Comments made based on a persons age, race, religion, or national origin, can also create a hostile environment. It is not just sexual comments that can be unlawful – comments about “old people,” “Jews,” or other racial terms may also create a work environment that is hostile.

Sexual harassment is unlawful under both Federal Law (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act) or Maryland State Law (Article 49B of the Maryland Code).  You can get more information at www.eeoc.gov or by scheduling a consultation with this law firm.
