The protection of individual rights in the workplace continues to be an area of great concern to society. Employers are required by law to adopt harassment and discrimination policies that help maintain a work environment that is free of unwelcome sexual harassment. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 strictly prohibits sexual harassment where it alters or interferes with employment and creates a hostile or abusive work environment.

Quid Pro Quo vs. Hostile Environment
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Guidelines identifies two different types of sexual harassment: quid pro quo and hostile environment.
Quid Pro Quo: Sometimes referred to as play for pay, this type of sexual harassment occurs when a manager or supervisor requests sexual favors in exchange for job retention or a promotion. Such cases involve some sexual advance or proposition by a supervisor with an expressed or implied threat that if the employee refuses, he or she will be terminated, demoted or passed over for promotion.
Employment law prohibits a supervisor from taking retaliatory actions against an employee who rejects a proposition to engage in illicit sexual behavior. Persistent demands after an employee has declined are also illegal. Contact a Ventura County sexual harassment attorney for more information.
Hostile Environment: Verbal and physical conduct which create a sexually hostile or oppressive work environment constitute a hostile environment sexual harassment claim. These cases involve conduct by supervisors, coworkers and even customers which may include unwanted touching, verbal remarks, sexual jokes, comments on one's appearance, suggestive drawings, photos, letters or notes, or questions about one's sexual practices.
