Workplace Harassment Law

Workplace harassment law protects employees from unwelcome behaviors, such as verbal, physical, or visual conduct, that create a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment. It covers harassment based on race, gender, religion, age, or other protected characteristics. Employers are responsible for preventing and addressing harassment and can be held legally accountable if they fail to do so. Employees have the right to report harassment without fear of retaliation and to seek remedies like corrective action or compensation. These laws aim to promote a safe, respectful workplace for everyone.
