If an employer does not adequately enforce workplace laws regarding abuse, harassment, or violence, or does not supervise the workplace effectively to prevent it from occurring, an employee may have recourse against the employer under state and federal law.
Employees have the right to work free from any discrimination based on:
- Race
- Color
- Religion
- National origin
- Disability
- Age
- Gender
Employees subjected to slurs or epithets based on race or to sexual advances may have recourse against their employer even if it is fellow employees who have made the remarks or advances.
Examples of workplace abuse or harassment:
- Unwelcome requests for dates
- Threats of termination for refusing to engage in sexual conduct.
- Sexually offensive jokes.
- Staring or leering in a sexual manner.
- Displaying or circulating racist, sexist, sexually explicit material or putting such material in someone's work station.
- Isolating or ignoring an employee based on his or her sexual orientation.
- Isolating or ignoring an employee based on his or her religious affiliation.
