Sexual Harassing

Sexual Harassing is considered to be any type of intimidation or unwelcome advances, including remarks or requests for favors that are made concerning sexual content by one party to another. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes sexual harassment a form of sexual discrimination and violations are therefore considered to be unlawful. Sexual harassing that occurs in the work place is defined by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as any unwanted sexual advance, request for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates a hostile work environment, serves as a basis for employment decisions, or implicates that a person's position may be at stake. In 1998 the US Supreme Court ruled that same sex sexual harassment can occur and that the person's sexual orientation has nothing to do with the validity of the case.
