  1. What sexual harassment is and isn't

  2. Any form of discrimination on the basis of sex is referred to as sexual harassment under the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The act is applicable to all the employers of the United States of America who have 15 or more employees. As per the law, a victim of sexual harassment is described as a person who is caused harm by an offensive conduct intentionally or unintentionally.

  3. The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) defines sexual harassment as "Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment."

  4. The EEOC has also laid down additional guidelines on what all constitute sexual harassment, and they include the following: • The behavior of the offender must be proved as unwelcome and offensive to the victim. • Even if there is no economic loss caused to the victim, the conduct of the offender can still be termed as harassment. • The victim need not necessarily be of the opposite gender. • The offender can be considered as a harasser irrespective of their professional relationship with the victim. Any behavior or conduct that falls outside these guidelines cannot be labeled as sexual harassment.

  5. Sexual Harassment Claims in Louisiana If you think that you have been a victim of sexual harassment, the first thing you should do is consult an experienced attorney. They will assess whether you have a case or not and advise you to file your claim accordingly. Although Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law, victims in the state of Louisiana should either consult a sexual harassment attorney in Baton Rouge or a personal injury attorney in Lafayette, LA. This is because the local law firms understand what it takes to represent you in the best possible way.

  6. The court of law generally sees sexual harassment claims as Quid Pro Quo or Hostile Work Environment.

  7. Hostile Work Environment When the conduct of a fellow worker or employee creates an offensive or threatening work environment, the court of law sees it as hostile work environment. In such cases, intimidation can be done through sexual jokes, threats, demeaning photographs or the circulation of sexually explicit pictures. If you think you are a victim of any such behavior at the workplace, the first thing you should do is consult your local sexual harassment attorney.
