Employee sexual harassment is defined as an employee who has been the victim of unwanted sexual advances, either by an employer or a fellow employee. Unwanted advances may include physical contact of a sexual nature, verbal harassment including jokes, suggestive remarks, sexually-related questions and more. It may also include sexually-related or offensive gestures. Employees are protected against sexual harassment by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII. Employees who have been sexually harassed should contact a sexual harassment attorney and determine what their rights and options are under sexual harassment statutes and laws. They can help the victim determine whether filing a lawsuit is the best option and whether the case is strong enough.
