Sexual harassment policies in schools, businesses and other places define what the organization considers harassment. They are typically compliant with the Civil Rights Act of 1963, which prohibits sexual harassment. These policies usually describe the consequences given to those who are found in violation of the policy. Employees and others should be aware of the sexual harassment policies at their work and school. Anyone who has been a victim of sexual harassment should consider hiring an attorney. Employees may also want to consider having a sexual harassment attorney look over the policies to be sure the company is in compliance with laws and that they are as protected as possible.
