Harassment or Discrimination at Work

What is Harassment?

Harassment in the workplace is when an employee is subjected to unwanted conduct based on his/her sex which ultimately violates his/her dignity. This can include verbal non-verbal and physical conduct. Harassment must have occurred on at least 2 occasions.
