Sexual Harassment Claims and Counseling

Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that occurs in the work place. It may include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Such actions may constitute sexual harassment when submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment, submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for an employment decision affecting an individual, has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
