Harassment At Work
Harassment in the workplace is a serious matter and the employer has an obligation to take reasonable steps to try and prevent it.
Harassment on the grounds of sex, including sexual harassment, is considered to be direct discrimination and is strictly prohibited.
In broad terms, harassment can occur where:
- Unwanted conduct on any of the areas covered by the discrimination laws eg sex, race, age, disability, sexual orientation, religion etc
- It creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading or offensive atmosphere
- The person is the recipient of embarrassing or offensive jokes or pranks or unwelcome physical or sexual advances
