What constitutes as Sexual Harassment in the workplace? |
I'm a small company, 3 women, 50 men. The two other ladies are related to some of the workers, and have been working here longer than me. I'm 6 months into the job, I've been sized up and told to high heels on so my legs would look longer. I've been smelled and told don't put and perfume on cause my natural body odor turn 'them" on. There's pornography on a computer in my work area, the screen saver is topless women, so is the backgroung. If you feel that you're being sexually harassed at work, you should immediately contact your HR. It could be (to answer your question) any touch or statement that is unwelcome would be classified as sexual harassment . It started out as forcing someone to do anything sexual in order to keep their job etc. It's now gotten to the point that if a boss touches an employee on the shoulder and means no offense, the boss can be charged with harassment. I love the sign that says, "We do allow sexual harassment, however you will be graded". It puts the current lunacy of the situation in context. Things have gotten out of hand, no pun intended. Is your workplace a big or small company. The reason I ask is, if you have an Equal Opportunity Office should spell it out for you. No, then you must provide proof of wrong doing and document that you requested this to stop. Witnesses are usually not a good choice in a business unless they are also fed up. If the perpetrator has any pull, he might make threats of firing, etc. Then you are without nothing. Anything that is unwanted or unwelcome. IN WHICH COUNTRY? Dave: Hi jane! |
