What Conduct Qualifies As Workplace Harassment?
Harassment is not always obvious at first. It often develops over time and creates conditions that interfere with your ability to do your job.
Common forms of harassment include:
- Discrimination-based conduct: Unfair treatment tied to race, gender, age, disability or other protected characteristics
- Sexual harassment: Unwanted advances, inappropriate comments or offensive behavior
- Retaliation: Negative actions taken after reporting misconduct or participating in an investigation
- Hostile work environment: Repeated intimidation, bullying or threats that make the workplace unsafe
These behaviors can violate state and federal laws. Identifying them early can help you take the next step toward protecting your rights.
