Sexual harassment refers to conduct that affects a person’s work performance by

person’s ability to perform job duties. In determining whether an act is sexual
harassment, the federal government has issued the following guidelines: Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits “unwelcome sexual advances, request for
sexual favors, and other verbal and physical conduct of a sexual nature,”
particularly in situations where:

 Submission to such conduct is either an explicit or implicit term or condition of
employment or advancement;
 Submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as the basis for decisions
affecting an individual’s employment or advancement; or
 Such conduct has the purpose or effect of interfering with a person’s work
performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work
environment.
