Sexual Harassment can be different from other forms of harassment because it covers not only hostile treatment, but also unwelcome or inappropriately solicitous treatment based on sex. It is a form of sex discrimination and is prohibited by law. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when it affects your employment or creates a hostile work environment.
