Sexual harassment is a form of illegal sex discrimination. Sexual harassment refers to behavior that is unwelcome, personally offensive, and which interferes with our work effectiveness. Federal law defines unlawful sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, whether by male or female, when (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment, (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for employment decisions affecting such individual, or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.
Individuals who believe they have been subjected to discrimination or harassment as described above or have questions about whether certain conduct is unlawful should immediately speak to .their supervisor or Clint Beckham. This is particularly important involving sexual harassment where there can be uncertainty about what is unlawful conduct.
Supervisors who receive complaints of discrimination or harassment or who are made aware of conduct that may constitute discrimination or harassment must immediately notify Clint Beckham.
