1. What is sexual
harassment?
What can you do if you
are being harassed?

unwelcome sexual advances,
inappropriate requests for sexual
favors and other unwanted verbal or
physical contact.

3. Per the ACLU,
Federal Law Prohibits:
1- “Severe or pervasive” harassment, creating an
environment that a “reasonable person” would find
“abusive.” A boss, coworker, or third party (such as a
customer) can create a hostile environment.
2- Requesting sexual favors in exchange for job benefits.
3- Retaliating for filing internal complaints, charges with
government agencies, or participating in an investigation.

4. If you have been experiencing sexual harassment, there
are things you can do.
1. Review your employer’s policy regarding sexual
harassment, if they have one.
a. If you can not find the policy in the
employee handbook or online, contact your
Human Resources Department or ask any
supervisor where it can be found.

5. 2. Document your experiences in writing and maintain
any evidence.
3. If you can, inform the person who is harassing you that
their advances are not welcome and to stop.
4. If your company has a policy, follow the required steps
for reporting the harassment.
A. The law protects you from retaliation from
reporting the incident(s).

6. 5. If you are not comfortable in telling your harasser or if
he or she does not stop, file a discrimination charge with
the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
at https://www.eeoc.gov You do not need an attorney to file
a complaint, but you must file before you can sue. EEOC
charges must be filed within 180 days of the last incident
(depending on where you work it could be 300 days) .
A. You can meet and talk confidentially with an
EEOC representative without filing.
