workplace harassment laws

Workplace harassment laws protect employees from unwanted behavior, such as sexual advances, discrimination, or hostile conduct, based on characteristics like race, gender, or religion. Employers are legally required to provide a safe work environment and must address complaints promptly. If harassment occurs, employees can file reports or claims, and employers may face legal consequences if they fail to act. These laws aim to prevent abuse, promote respect, and ensure everyone is treated fairly and safely at work.
