- Race

- Sex
- Gender identity
- Sexual orientation

Sexual Harassment
Like discrimination, sexual harassment can affect different aspects of your work, from your wages and job title to your continued employment at a company. Sexual harassment generally takes two forms:
Quid Pro Quo
From the Latin phrase "something for something," this form of sexual harassment involves some type of sexual favor in exchange for some work-related benefit. This may include favors for improved wages, a promotion, or even continued employment.
Hostile Work Environment
A hostile workplace is an environment that someone finds intimidating or unpleasant. In the context of sexual harassment, this includes workplaces that normalize crude sexual jokes and comments among co-workers and encourage sexual harassment.
Common Examples of
Sexual Harassment
/
- Unwanted physical contact at work or work functions
- Unwanted sexual advances from co-workers
- Sexist or sexual comments at the workplace
- Sharing sexist or sexual images with co-workers
- Refusal of promotion for rejecting a supervisor's advances
- Termination for rejecting a boss' advances
Online Discrimination and Harassment
Many modern workplaces involve online interactions with co-workers and supervisors. Zoom, Slack, and other programs have changed the nature of meetings and team interaction. Both discrimination and sexual harassment can occur in these digital and virtual spaces whether you're a full-time remote employee or your employer uses apps while people are at the office.
Examples of online sexual harassment include:
- Sharing of inappropriate images online
- Displaying explicit images
- Unwanted texts or DMs
- Cyberbullying
- Cyberstalking
Traditional employment law practice areas apply to online spaces. If you've experienced online discrimination or harassment, speak with a New Jersey employment attorney today.
