About Harassment Claims
Workplace harassment involves unwelcome conduct based on a protected characteristic that creates a hostile or intimidating work environment. To be actionable, harassment must be sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of employment. Employers may be liable for harassment by supervisors, coworkers, or even non-employees in certain circumstances.
