Macon Georgia Criminal Lawyer
In Georgia, sexual harassment refers to intimidation of an unwelcome sexual nature or the promise of rewards for sexual favors. Sexual harassment comes in many forms and includes full blown sexual assaults, discrimination, verbal taunting and touching.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) wrote guidelines for enforcing Title VII actions. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act is a federal law that disallows discrimination in employment but the Supreme Court has ruled that it also prohibits sexual harassment. Sexual Harassment is defined by the EEOC as:
Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or verbal or physical actions of a sexual nature that occur when:
1. It was apparent that doing the act was a condition of the employment,
2. If you refused doing the act, your boss might use that as a grounds for firing, transfer or salary decisions, or
3. The actions unreasonably interfered with your work performance or created a intimidating, hostile, or offensive work atmosphere.
Types 1 and 2 are referred to as “quid pro quo” acts and are sexual bribery.
Type 3 includes “hostile work environment” claims are more subjective.
