Sexual Harassment Laws
The state's Human Rights Act protects employees from sexual harassment, which is considered a form of sex discrimination. Sexual harassment includes conduct that affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with their work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment. This can include behavior such as:
- Unwelcome sexual advances
- Requests for sexual favors
- Crude language
- The display of sexual graphic materials
- Sexual comments
- Gestures and physical conduct of a sexual nature

Sexual Harassment Claims
Sexual harassment is a form of abuse that is illegal and should never be tolerated. The harassment can come from a co-worker, boss, vendor or client, whether a member of the opposite sex or same sex. The comments or gestures can be directed to you personally or to another individual that affects you in some way. Employees are protected by law from sex discrimination both in terms of unwanted sexual behavior and sexual advances that can affect your employment status. An example of the latter is an employee who believes they will be fired, demoted or retaliated against in some way by a supervisor seeking sexual favors.
