A Kansas Sexual Harassment Attorney: Michael M. ShultzSexual harassment is one of the most common forms of discrimination in the workplace. Obviously, it is illegal for an employer to discriminate against you because of your gender; however, the employer also cannot cause or permit a workplace where sexual harassment occurs. Although no federal statute uses the term "sexual harassment," the federal courts have interpreted federal discrimination laws, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, to prohibit sexual harassment. The EEOC investigates claims of sexual harassment, and you must file a charge with this agency before you can go to court. Michael Shultz has over 20 years of experience working with the EEOC and can help you with your claim. What is sexual harassment: although federal regulations provide a lengthy definition of sexual harassment, it is generally conduct that ridicules, embarrasses or humuliates a person because of the person's sex. Although sexual harassment is most often focused on women, men can also be the victims of sexual harassment. Moreover, women can be quilty of sexually harassing other women, and men can illegally harass other men. Hostile work environment: The most typical sexual harassment claim is a hostile work environment where the conduct directed against women is so severe or so pervasive that it affects the terms and conditions of employment by creating an abusive working environment. Although unwanted touching can constitute sexual harassment, so can frequent requests for dates or sexual favors. In addition, crude language that displays a bias against women can be unlawful.
