What Are Some Common Examples Of Sexual Harassment?

Many brave women and men have come forward with their stories of sexual harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment is defined as repeated unwanted remarks, advances or touching of a sexual nature. This may include:

  • Sexual Jokes
  • Posting of Lewd Photos or Other Material
  • Romantic Advances
  • Groping or Brushing Against Somone
  • Crude Nicknames
  • Offers of Advancement in Exchange for Sexual Favors

If you experience one or more of these examples, document it somewhere safe. Report it to your supervisor, and escalate your complaint to the next level as often as necessary. If your employer still does not take action to end it, it is time to contact a lawyer.

What is considered a hostile work environment in Pennsylvania?

A hostile work environment may exist when an employee is subjected to severe or repeated harassment based on a protected characteristic or protected workplace activity. These claims are fact-specific and should be reviewed by an employment law attorney.

Is a bad boss the same as a hostile work environment?

Not always. A boss can be rude, unfair or difficult without creating an illegal hostile work environment. The conduct usually must be connected to a legally protected characteristic or protected activity and be serious enough to affect the workplace.

What should I do if HR ignores my harassment complaint?

If HR ignores your complaint or the harassment continues, keep records of your reports, the employer’s response and any additional incidents. An employment attorney can help you understand your options.

Can I be fired for reporting workplace harassment?

An employer generally cannot fire or punish an employee for reporting harassment or discrimination. If you were fired or disciplined after making a complaint, you may have a retaliation concern.

Should I quit if I am in a hostile work environment?

You should speak with an attorney before quitting if possible. Resigning may affect your legal options, and an attorney can help you understand the potential risks before you make that decision.

How long do I have to file a hostile work environment claim?

Deadlines can apply to employment discrimination and harassment claims. The timeline may depend on whether the claim is being handled under Pennsylvania law, federal law or both. Because deadlines can be short, it is important to speak with an attorney promptly.
