Hostile Work Environments

Conduct that is considered to be harassing might be either physical or visual. It is also possible for there to be verbal conduct involved, such as the use of epithets, slurs, or insulting comments. The behavior is considered to be harassing if it conveys an insulting or harsh message to the employee who is being harassed based on their gender or sex. The harassing behavior must also be severe or pervasive to the extent that it makes it impossible for the harassed employee to function normally in their place of employment.
